Abstract
The purpose of this work was to investigate the friction and wear behavior of microfibrillar reinforced polymer composites against smooth steel counterfaces by means of pin-on-disk and flat-on-ring experiments. The latter showed that a reinforcing effect of the fibrils in terms of an improved wear resistance was clearly visible for compression molded samples, but it was not detectable in the injection molded ones. The blends were also studied by scanning electron microscopy after the tribological measurements, and differences in the wear mechanisms between the different materials and testing conditions were observed.
