Tribological properties of friction composites modified by the suspended particles of exhaust flue gases by T. A. Akhmetov, V. K. Merinov, N. V. Kargapolova

“…This is due to the difference in the chemical composition of the deposited particles.It was found that the use of deposited particles in composite materials allows to vary the value of the dynamic friction coefficient in a wider range, in particular to obtain higher and stable values, while the wear resistance of modified friction composites is more than 500 times higher than the same index of the matrix polymer – polytetrafluoroethylene.…”
