Abstract
The tribological behaviour of polymer particles containing an encapsulated, organic friction modifier (FM) is presented. Particles comprising of a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shall and a methanol core, into which FM was dissolved, were produced via a dispersion polymerization producing a core-shell morphology. The inclusion of these particles dramatically increased the overall concentration of FM which could be blended into dodecane. The tribological behaviour of the particles produced, both with and without encapsulated FM, was tribologically tested in pure dodecane. The addition of as little as 1.5 wt% particles was found to decrease the friction coefficient and measured wear volumes below those for dodecane saturated with FM. Data suggests that the FM delivery method may be dominated by a bursting mechanism.
