Abstract

Polymer-based composites have been increasingly implemented as engineering material and as material for the fabrication of slide bearings. Their tribological properties and friction coefficient can be tested by laboratory procedures [1]. Polymer-based composites can replace bronze as engineering material for slide bearings in some applications. As an engineering material, bronze has a long history of implementation in various machines. Because of wide selection of literature and carried out studies on this material there is a certain amount of safety when selecting a construction element. The objective of this work is to study the friction coefficient of the polymer-based composite material compared to bronze as engineering material that has had a long history of application.
