Microfiller influence on structure and properties of the composite

It is demonstrated that the introduction of the particulate microfiller Al2O3 micron size (50 μm) to about 20% by weight affects the mechanical friction and improves the wear resistance properties of the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene polyethylene (UHMWPE). Experimental studies of coatings based on the UHMWPE filled materials showed that the degree of crystallinity of such materials in increasing the proportion of filler is reduced as compared to the pure UHMWPE, wherein the modulus of elasticity and strength increases. Theoretical analysis of the deformation process of the filled UHMWPE is carried out using the finite element method in conjunction with the procedure consecutive cases. The comparative analysis is performed for the experimental data calculated in the flat setting to enter the correction factor.
