THE CHEMICALLY AND ELECTROCHEMICALLY MODIFIED
RESINS AS END MATERIALS FOR THE SYNTHESIS OF
NANOCOMPOSITES IN DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEMS
2
80 of worldwide production of sensors is covered
by thermistors and piezoresistorsThe
progressive miniaturisation of components
implicates the production of parts that HAVE the
properties of a resistor, which means they
fulfill the relation Rf(T)
THE OBJECT OF OUR INVESTIGATION IS TO
ELABORATE INNOVATIVE MATERIALS WITH SUCH
PROPERTIES
3
To have a closer look
Our area of investigation is the
electrotribological friction couple.
The aimed applications are the intelligent
systems of autonomous and controlled vehicles.
The aimed products are mini-brakes and sliding
bearings
4
Some words about the electrotribology
The electrotribology consists in studying and
observing the electrical phenomena and parameters
during friction. These studies are based no
the existence of a friction couple of bodies
rubbing each other
Our aim is to retrieve the electrical values when
one member of the friction pair is made of the
material we wish to introduce
5
As our interest is in mini- and nanoparts, we
tend to perform these devices with a unique,
intelligent material having the properties of a
sensor and the adequate small size
THE ELECTROCHEMICALLY AND CHEMICALLY MODIFIED
RESINS Silicone, polyester, polyimide or
epoxide resins with ceramic or metal particles
forming a nanocomposite
6
Application of the electrochemically modified
resins
Nanocomposite - end material for the elaboration
of mobile parts, designed for electrotribology
and microelectronics, especially for metrological
applications.

Qualities and defaults of the electrochemically
and chemically modified resins

• QUALITIES
• their isotropy in macro scale and their
  anisotropy in nano scale
• their thermocouple and piezoresistive properties
• possibility of forming small size extrusions with
  simple matrixes
• miniaturisation of devices made with these resins
• wide range of applications

8
Defaults of the electrochemically modifies resins

• Necessity of performing the following
  investigations

9
Generally, we can distinguish the following types
of investigations

• investigation on the properties of material
  components
• investigation on the parameters of technological
  processes (production of new materials
  (nanolayers, nanocomposites) and its
  optimisation)
• investigation aimed at describing the properties
  of models
• design-project investigation of
  electrotribological and metrological
  applications
• investigation on the exploitation properties of
  semi-conductive sliding bearings
• elaboration of miniature semi-conductive sliding
  bearings.
