Abstract

In this follow-up to our previous chapter on "Wear and Scratch Damage in Polymer Nanocomposites" (Chapter 16 of first edition), we will review and discuss the advancements made in this field in the past 5 years. Since this is only intended as an update, we will not go through the fundamentals or early tribological literature on polymer nanocomposites, which were part of our previous contribution. Specifically, here, we have grouped the literature to delineate the effects of friction (or ways to reduce friction), surface roughness, and anisotropic properties of polymers (and nanocomposites). We have also short sections reviewing the different ways to evaluate the wear/scratch mechanisms and tribological behavior of coatings.
