Abstract
Linear polyethylene filled with aerosil and acetylene black has been investigated by the dynamic and tribometric methods in the crystalline and fluid states. The structure of the filled systems in the solid state has been studied by diffraction analysis and with electron and polarizing microscopes. The hardness of the filled systems has been measured. The results point to the amorphization of polyethylene by acetylene black. Aerosil does not affect the polyethylene structure. As compared with acetylene black, aerosil forms a stronger structural framework in the polymer.
