In recent years, attempts to improve the mechanical properties of composites have
increased remarkably owing to the inadequate utilization of matrices in demanding …

The purpose of this review is to summarize data on the structure, mechanical and
tribological properties, and wear patterns of composites based on high-performance …

The parameters necessary for the reliable design of PEEK gears were determined. The
effect of a steel gear's surface on the polymer gear's wear was investigated. Values for the …

It remains challenging to incorporate high-content fibers in fiber-reinforced polymer matrix
composites to significantly enhance their mechanical properties. This work prepared …

Abstract Development of high-performance water lubricants in replacement of conventional
oil lubricants is of great significance for protecting our environment and ecology. Water …

Abstract The two-dimensional (2D) material of graphitic carbon nitride (gC 3 N 4) has shown
great promise for tribo-materials due to special molecular structure. In this work, we report an …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) lamellar materials have unique molecular structures and
mechanical properties, among which molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) and graphitic carbon …

High density polyethylene (HDPE) nanocomposites were prepared by melt mixing of the
polymer with 0.5–1.0 wt-% hydrophobic surface treated fumed silica and titanium nitride …

The influence of high hydrostatic pressure on tribological characteristics of carbon fiber
reinforced Poly-ether-ether-ketone (CF/PEEK) against 431 stainless steel (431SS) was …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an alternative to biomedical metals for fabricating bone
implants, which possesses many advantages but its clinical applications are still impeded by …
