Tribology of Nanocomposites [Paperback]

This book?provides recent information on nanocomposites tribology.

Chapter?1?provides information on?tribology of bulk polymer nanocomposites and nanocomposite coatings. Chapter 2 is dedicated to nano and micro PTFE for surface lubrication of carbon fabric reinforced polyethersulphone composites. Chapter 3 describes Tribology of MoS_{2 -b}ased nanocomposites. Chapter 4 contains information on friction and wear of Al₂O₂?-based composites with dispersed and agglomerated nanoparticles. Finally, chapter 5 is dedicated to wear of multi-scale phase reinforced composites.

It is a useful reference for academics, materials and physics researchers, materials, mechanical and manufacturing engineers, both as final undergraduate?and postgraduate levels.
