TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF ULTRA-SONICATED ALKALINE ION DOPED EPOXY.

In this paper, we describe the influence of ultra-sound exposure time and tribological properties regarding formation of composites with two different salts doped epoxy resin. Potassium dichromate and Sodium dichromate were choosen due to their flexible way of use and the novelty of their usage to form epoxy composites. The time of ultra-sound exposure was, each time, of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes. The doping method had been developed as part as research activity under the Project POSCCE 12P01.024/CD111. All the presented experiments and results are performed and obtained at Polymer Composites Laboratory of Dunărea de Jos University of Galaţ i. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
