## This paper presents the general results of an investigation of the friction and wear of a carbon-carbon (C/C) composite material in dry nitrogen and ambient air using a constant speed type of test apparatus. With brake applications in mind, much of the work has been carried out at experimental

โฆ Synopsis
The use of injection moulded thermoplastic composites is increasing, but withoutfillers, reinforcements, or lubricants, they are limited by their thermal behaviour. This study looks at four polymers -polyamide 46, polyphthalamide, polyetherimide, and polyphenylenesulphide -containing first glass fibres as reinforcement, and a second version with added PTFE. Two types of wear test were undertaken, sliding wear (pin-on-disc and block-on-ring), and reciprocally fretting wear. The test materials showed different wear rates both under different tests and at various temperatures.
