The Influence of Mono- and Polyreinforcement on the Tribological Properties of Polymer Composites Based on Organic Silicon Binder
The article examines the effect of discrete basalt fiber and hybrid mixture on the tribotechnical properties of the organosilicon binder. It was established that basalt plastic with a fiber content of 40-50 mass.% is characterized by the highest wear resistance index, but by high values of the coefficient of friction and temperature in the contact zone. The high indicators of the latter can be explained by the friction of the basalt fiber. Hidden crystal graphite was added to the composition of basalt plastic to reduce the coefficient of friction and temperature in the contact zone. As a result of the conducted research, it was established that the best complex of tribological properties is characterized by a hybrid composite containing 35 mass.% of basalt fiber and 35 mass.% of hidden crystalline graphite.
