Abstract

Friction and wear of polymers and their composites introduce further difficulty that polymers are simply affected by working conditions and sliding media. The disagreement between friction in polymers and metallic friction is resulting from the alterations in the elastic and plastic behavior of metallic materials and the viscoelastic performance of polymeric materials. It is expected that, compared to metals, polymers are easily to meet elastic distortion when in contact. The wear mechanisms are described through extensive categories: abrasive, adhesive, surface fatigue, and others. The influences controlling friction and wear of polymers are broadly argued. There are various mechanisms governing the tribological behavior of the polymer moving on metal tribosystems including transfer film, wear regimes, and pv-limit. The basics of polymeric composites and how numerous compositions and structures can affect their tribological behavior are explained.
