Abstract
The article suggests the technology of modifying a polymer matrix by microencapsulation, i. e. the introduction of microparticles (lubricants with nano-additives in polymer shells) into nanocomposites matrix, to form multilevel structures on the tribounit surface. Besides, it suggests the method of predicting the operational elastic properties of multicomponent matrix composites with microcapsules, filled with a liquid substance. The method is based on the generalized singular approximation of the theory of random fields and allows, taking into account the geometric dimensions of the inclusions in the shell. It contains the results of numerical modelling of the effective elastic characteristics (Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio) of composites, based on phenylone with dispersed inclusions (microcapsules), which are glycerin-filled spherical shells of the kapton. The paper investigates the effect of the geometric dimensions of microcapsules and the volumetric content of components on the operational elastic properties of tribocomposites. The developed antifriction nanomaterials with microcapsules are able to create an oriented lubricating coating on the friction surfaces, apply lubrication to a certain friction area and carry out the lubrication portion wise precisely in the necessary contact zone of the bodies.
