Tribology: the basics and connections explained in a way that is easy to understand

The subject of "tribologically modified plastics" is complex. For designers, this topic is fraught with numerous questions. Our whitepaper “Tribologically modified plastics. The basics and connections are presented in an easy-to-understand manner.” goes into the most important ones. Find out

on which materials tribological modifications at LEHVOSS are based,
how the polymers differ
and which parameters are important for the creation of the specifications.

We will also explain to you which additives can be used to modify polymers in order to improve friction and wear values.
