Series on Tribology and Surface Engineering
by Soney C. George, Jozef T. Haponiuk, Sabu Thomas, Rakesh Reghunath, Sarath P. S.
Tribology of Polymers, Polymer
Composites, and Polymer Nanocomposites combines fundamental knowledge
with the latest findings in the area of polymer tribology. From testing
of property-related mechanisms to prediction of wear using artificial
neural networks, the book explores all relevant polymer types,
including elastomers, epoxy-based, nylon, and more while also
discussing their different types of reinforcement, such as
particulates, short fibers, natural fibers, and beyond. New
developments in sustainable materials, environmental effects,
nanoscaled fillers, and self-lubrication are each discussed, as are
applications of these materials, guidelines for when to use certain
polymer systems, and functional groups of polymers.
Experimental
methods and modeling and prediction techniques are also outlined. The
tribology of graphene-based, biodegradable, hybrid nanofiller/polymer
nanocomposites and other types of polymers is discussed at length.
- Synthesizes the latest cutting-edge research in the tribological behaviors and applications of polymeric materials
- Covers
all relevant polymer types and concepts, including elastomers and
natural fibers, different types of reinforcement materials, sustainable
materials, interfacial modifiers and the environmental effects of
self-lubrication
- Outlines modeling techniques and how filler-matrix pairings and other approaches can control wear mechanisms
