Tribological and Electrical Properties of Filled Epoxy Reinforced Composites
Journal Title: Tribology in Industry - Year 2009, Vol 31, Issue 1
Abstract
The main goal of this study is to identify the ways in which it is possible to intervene in order to improve the electromagnetic, thermal, thermo-mechanical and mechanical properties of composite materials. One of the cheapest methods is to fill the polymer with various powders. This study’s approach is a trail and error one because the fillers’ influences are not very well known despite the multitude of world wide carried out studies. Plates of fabric reinforced ferrite filled epoxy were formed. Electrical conductivity and abrasive behavior were investigated using recommended methods. The focus were on indentifying the influence of ferrite’s concentration. Some changes in composites’ properties may be noticed both regarding the electrical conductivity and wear resistance.
