A sliding bearing having a plastics polymer-based composite layer

摘要

A sliding bearing 1 having a plastics polymer-based composite layer 4 on a substrate 2, 3 is provided. The composite layer 4 comprises a matrix of plastics polymer-based material having distributed throughout the matrix 0.1 to 5 %vol. carbon nanostructures 6C, and incidental impurities. A method of manufacture of such a sliding bearing is also disclosed.
