Friction and wear of organoplastics based on aromatic polyamide of phenylone type

Abstract

The present work studies the effect of the amount of sulfone-T fiber upon the wear of organoplastics based on the aromatic polyamide phenylone S-1. It was found that the lowest wear of organoplastics was observed in both lubricated friction modes by water and oil, so without lubrication for the fiber content about 10 wt %. The data obtained by viscosimetry have proved that the lower wear resistance of organoplastics was at water lubrication in contrast to that by the oil due to the destruction of the polymeric binder induced by hydrolysis of amide links.
