Elaboration and experimental characterizations of copper-filled polyamide micro...
Akrout, Mabrouka; Difallah, Basma Ben; Kharrat, Mohamed; Dammak, Maher; Pereira, António B.; Oliveira, Filipe J.; Duarte, IsabelPolyamide 66 (PA66) has been used for dynamic bearing applications due to its good wear and abrasion resistance, hardness, and rigidity. PA66/copper micro-composites were studied with respect to micro-mechanical, tribological, and structural properties. A mixing step followed by injection molding was used to develop the different composites: PA66+5 wt.% Cu, PA66+10 wt.% Cu, and PA66+15 wt.% Cu. The morphologica...

Akrout, Mabrouka; Ben Difallah, Basma; Kharrat, Mohamed; Dammak, Maher; Pereira, António; Oliveira, Filipe J.; Duarte, IsabelThe purpose of this work was to investigate the structural, thermal, micromechanical and tribological properties of novel polymer/metal composite materials for bearing applications. Copper (Cu)-filled Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) composites were mixed in a laboratory scale by an internal mixer with two blade impellers, and then injection-molded. Neat ABS, ABS+5wt% Cu, ABS+10wt% Cu, and ABS+15wt% Cu wer...
