The modern problems of tribotechnical material science are considered; in particular, the selforganization in polymer composites has been studied. It is established that steady-state selective transfer reduces the wear rate of an epoxy composite material. It is confirmed that it can be used in partial or zero lubrication conditions. The self-organization processes that occur in polymer composites during tribological interaction determine the suitability of a system to be used as a selflubricating material. In friction, the determining factor is not only the initial material structure, but also the surface layer structure formed according to the load–speed operating mode.
