We investigated the processes of water absorption, chemical stability and microhardness of films of epoxy composites that contained as the polymer matrix the epoxy resin UP-655 and mineral fillers: graphite, mica, aluminum oxide at their content (0 - 30 % mass). It found that introduction of mineral fillers significantly affects on all complex of operating characteristics of the films. Increase of filler content, especially mica, to 20 %, resulting in slower process and reducing the quantity of absorbed moisture by films. In the study of physical and mechanical properties of filled epoxy composites was established that the introduction of mineral filler significantly affects their microhardness, and the nature of the exposure is determined by the type and filler content.

ZnO nanorod/TiO2 nanoparticle composite films were prepared by a sol-gel method, in which the slurry of TiO2 nanoparticles (NPs) were penetrated into ZnO nanorod arrays. The agglomerate size of TiO2 NPs was controlled with tetraethylammonium hydroxide. Lowering ZnO nanorod array density was an effective way to fill TiO2 NPs in the space of ZnO nanorod array. The presence of ZnO and TiO2 was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Triblock copolymer (P123) was added as a template agent to obtain high specific surface area, and the solar cell performance was improved. However, the viscosity of the TiO2 slurry was increased by addition of P123, and TiO2 content in the composite film was reduced. Low concentration TiO2 slurry was preferable to be penetrated into ZnO nanorod array and solar cell performance was further improved.

Wear tests were performed on various expanded PTFE / epoxy composite films, using a 304 stainless steel pin, in a pin on disk configuration. The density and thickness of the expanded PTFE films were varied, and the effects on friction and wear were examined. It was found that there are trends for increased wear resistance with increasing density, and increasing film thickness. Wear rates less than 10−8 mm3/Nm were calculated on some of the composite films. The film thickness range from 75–510μm and the density ranged from 0.304 to 0.904 g/cm3. The tests were run at a 5N load and 1m/s sliding speed with varying sliding distances.
