The results showed that the wear resistance could be greatly improved through tribological layer formation. Loading PES with 30 wt.% SCFs (2 mm) provided a minimum WR value of 0.77 \u00d7 10\u22126 mm3\/N m. The tribological layer thicknesses were estimated to be equal to 2\u20137 \u00b5m. Several conditions were proposed, which contributed to the formation of a tribological layer from debris, including the three-stage pattern of the changing kinetics of the time dependence of the friction coefficient. The kinetics had to sharply increase up to ~0.4\u20130.5 in the first (running-in) stage and gradually decrease down to ~0.1\u20130.2 in the second stage. Then, if these levels did not change, it could be argued that any tribological layer had formed, become fixed and fulfilled its functional role. The PES-based composites loaded with SCFs 2 mm long were characterized by possessing the minimum CoF levels, for which their three-stage changing pattern corresponded to one of the conditions for tribological layer formation. This work provides valuable insight for studying the process parameters of tribological layer formation for SCF-reinforced thermoplastic PES composites and revealing their impact on tribological properties.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/polym16152180","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]],"date-time":"2024-07-31T10:34:43Z","timestamp":1722422083000},"page":"2180","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["The Role of Triboloading Conditions in Tribolayer Formation and Wear Resistance of PES-Based Composites Reinforced with Carbon Fibers"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Defang","family":"Tian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science, Engineering School of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Changjun","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science, Engineering School of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7464-9628","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dmitry G.","family":"Buslovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Nanobioengineering, Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 634055 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lyudmila A.","family":"Kornienko","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Mechanics of Polymer Composite Materials, Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 634055 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7623-7360","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sergey V.","family":"Panin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Materials Science, Engineering School of Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, National Research Tomsk Polytechnic University, 634050 Tomsk, Russia"},{"name":"Laboratory of Mechanics of Polymer Composite Materials, Institute of Strength Physics and Materials Science of Siberian Branch of Russian Academy of Sciences, 634055 Tomsk, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"402","DOI":"10.1016\/j.wasman.2018.11.025","article-title":"Mechanical properties and long-term durability of recycled polysulfone plastic","volume":"84","author":"Yu","year":"2019","journal-title":"Waste Manag."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Chukov, D., Nematulloev, S., Zadorozhnyy, M., Tcherdyntsev, V., Stepashkin, A., and Zherebtsov, D.
