It has been reported in the literature that certain amounts of BNNP addition can be useful for enhancement of mechanical properties. Therefore, it is very important to obtain the effect of such addition upon friction and wear performance of epoxy resin. BNNPs have been incorporated at 0.3-0.5-0.7-1 wt %. It is shown that BNNP addition results in decrease in friction coefficient and wear. It is also shown that the best results are obtained with 0.5% nanoplatelet addition. It is also observed that heat conduction of epoxy resin is enhanced by the nanoplatelet addition.en10.1115/1.4037698info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessfrictionnanotribologypolymeric additivessurface properties and characterizationwearArticle1402Q2WOS:000423339800022Q3
