Abstract

The technology of encapsulation has been explored in several research fields as they offer an extensive variety of conceivable benefits, ease of encapsulating an extensive variety of core materials, and the opportunity to combine the properties of dissimilar types of materials. This chapter describes the importance of tribology and reviews work related to friction and wear behavior of polymers and other composites that contain encapsulated lubricating agents. It is observed from previous research that encapsulated particle concentration varies from 0 to 30 wt%. Wear and friction properties are observed to be favorable up to 10 wt% of particle concentration, and later an adverse outcome is observed.
