Abstract
This article briefs the special design principles of polymer composites for low friction and wear under sliding against smooth metallic counterparts. Based on these fundamental aspects, traditional applications of polymeric tribo-components in mechanical and automotive engineering are reviewed. A following chapter on special developments of tribo-components outlines (a) ways to achieve electrical conductivity of polymer bearings, (b) the enhancement of self-lubrication and self-healing potential in the polymer matrix, (c) additive manufacturing methods for friction and wear loaded polymer parts, and (d) the application and properties of high temperature polymer coatings.
