20.500.12556/RUL-169228 Improving the tribological performance of POM through the incorporation of bio-based materials Polyoxymethylene (POM), an engineering polymer commonly used in tribological applications, is often reinforced with fossil-based fibers such as carbon and/or glass fibers to improve its properties. To find more sustainable solutions, in this study, the tribological performance of POM/short cellulose fiber composites at different sliding conditions is investigated. An improvement in the wear coefficient of roughly 69% is observed at the harshest conditions of 5 MPa and 1 m · s^{−1} with only 10 wt.% cellulose fibers. The friction behavior is furthermore stabilized through fiber addition, as the unfilled polymer did not show a steady state. No signs of thermo-oxidative degradation are found after tribological testing. This study presents promising results for sustainable wear-resistant polymer materials in tribological applications. tribology polymer composites polyoxymethylene cellulose fibers wear resistance true false true Angleški jezik Ni določen Članek v reviji 2025-05-19 15:05:23 2025-05-19 15:05:26 2025-05-20 03:56:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 22 str. iss. 16, art. 2310 Vol. 16 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 539.92 2073-4360 10.3390/polym16162310 236391427 Kneissl_..._Improving_the_Tribological.pdf Kneissl_..._Improving_the_Tribological.pdf 1 8F17A6D3EFF2D938E5CE337D50531EBE 36051dc31baec6509b91c8e64e2386eef47bc3aa6d510eec2ce16355ac76e51c 10699d2b-34b1-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210471 https://www.mdpi.com/2073-4360/16/16/2310 1 af08abbc-34b0-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=210470 Fakulteta za strojništvo 0 0 0
