Physicochemical Processes in Metal-Polymer Tribosystems

摘要

Physicochemical processes developing under friction interaction of polymer composite materials (PCM) with a metallic counterbody and their influence on the thermodynamic state of the tribosystem are analyzed. It is shown that tribochemical reactions and triboelectrical and thermal processes augment the tribosystem entropy. Mechanical loading and thermal processes have a dominant effect on the alteration of the thermodynamic state of the tribosystem.
