In order to find out optimum filler to increase manufacturability (extrudability) of composites based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) matrix as well as to develop polymer-polymeric composites with improved tribological characteristics, the structure, mechanical properties and wear resistance of UHMWPE mixtures with elasticizing block-copolymer PA-b-LLDPE (UHMWPE + PA-b-LLDPE) was investigated under dry sliding friction. Applied aspect of the study is related to the selection of commercially available fillers being compatible with UHMWPE for manufacturing anti-frictional extrudable nanocomposites. It is shown that as compared with pure UHMWPE mechanical properties (ultimate strength, value of elongation at failure) do not vary substantially, but the wear rate under dry sliding friction of polymeric composites UHMWPE + n wt.% PA-b-LLDPE is reduced only when block copolymer weight fraction is less than ≤ 5 wt.%. By the polymeric filling an important technological characteristic - specific pressure of extrusion (that is proportional to melt flow index) might be decreased. Permolecular structure and wear track surfaces of polymer-polymer composites UHMWPE + n wt.% PA-b-LLDPE was examined and numerically characterized.

The tribotechnical properties of hydroxyapatite (HA) nanocomposite based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) under dry sliding and lubrication of distilled water and plasma blood was investigated with block-on-ring. It was shown that modification of UHMWPE by HA nanoparticles within range of 0.1–0.5 wt.% results in decrease of wear intensity at dry sliding up to 3 times. The under lubrication, wear intensity of pure UHMWPE and nanocomposite are deceased up to 50–70% as compared with under dry sliding. Permolecular structure of pure UHMWPE and nanocomposite are spherulitic structure, which nanoparticle does not alter the nature of the permolecular structure, and homogeneously dispersed in the UHMWPE matrix.

The tribotechnical properties of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) based composite filled with hydroxyapatite (HA) microparticles under dry sliding and lubrication of distilled water and plasma blood wear investigated with block-on-ring. It was shown that modification of UHMWPE by HA microparticles of 20 wt.% results in decrease of wear intensity at dry sliding up to 4 times. The under lubrication, wear intensity of pure UHMWPE and microcomposite are deceased up to 50–70% as compared with under dry sliding. Permolecular structure of pure UHMWPE and microcomposite are spherulitic structure and the HA microparticles were dispersed in the UHMWPE matrix.

The influence of additive nature as well as its ratio on the rheological, tribological and technological properties of blends based on ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene has been determined. The energy costs impact in the polymer blends processing has been studied. It is shown that the rheological and tribological properties of the samples have a complicated dependence, which is determined by inhomogeneity of the system. The paper takes into consideration the influence of the friction coefficient of material and the viscosity of its melt on energy costs during processing by injection molding or extrusion
