Features of structural adaptability of polymer composite coatings

Abstract

Coatings based on thermosetting and thermoplastic polymer binders using mechanically activated silicate fillers from local natural raw materials (from Koytash deposit), activated on a mechano-activator of wollastonite of different dispersion were investigated. The studies conducted made it possible to establish the effect of the surface roughness of the material on the cotton fiber damageability under their frictional interaction and the phenomena occurring in the polymer-cotton tribosystem, where, after the end of non-stationary friction, i.e. during the running-in period with a stable frictional interaction, the processes of formation of dynamic tribostructures continuously occur. These tribostructures provide a certain stable and minimum value of the friction force, and their destruction is compensated by their restoration, owing to information feedback.
