Surface oxidation reactions have been carried out on a number of polymers, particularly polyethylene. Surface oxidation techniques include the use of corona discharge, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, nitrous acid, alkaline hypochloride, UV irradiation, oxidizing flame, and chromic acid The reactions lead initially to the formation of hydroperoxides, which catalyze the formation of aldehydes and ketones and finally, acids and esters. Surface oxidation treatment has been used to increase the printabdity of polyethylene and poly(ethylene terephthalate) and to improve the adhesion of polyethylene and polypropylene to polar polymers and that of polytetrafluoroethylene to pressure-sensitive tapes. Surface-oxidized polyethylene, when coated with a thin film of vinylidene chloride, acrylonitrile, and acryhc acid terpolymers becomes impermeable to oxygen and more resistant to grease, oil, abrasion, and high temperatures. The greasy feel of polyethylene has also been removed by surface oxidation. 

The objects of our investigations were four kinds of elastomers, of different structure and polarity, viz. cis-1,4-polybutadiene (BR)> butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer (NBR), isobutylene-isoprene copolymers (IIR) and ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPT). They were mixed with plastomers low density polyethylene (PE] ), polystyrene (PS), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polycaproamide (PCA) and polyacrylonitrile (PAN) (Table 1). The concentration of the plastomers in the mixtures was changed in the range from 0 to 50 pph of the elastomer. The polymers were blended at temperature T = 423 K by means of the micromill of the Plasti--Corder apparatus. After 24 hours, crosslinking substances, dicurayl peroxide (DCP) or sulphur and diphenylguanidine (S, DPG), were added at room temperature. The composition of the mixtures is given in Table 2.

Therefore the three t)rpes of materials modified with carbon particles were prepared (i) carbon fibre-reinforced carbon composites (CERC), materials promising for hard tissue surgery, coated with a fullerene Ceo layer, (ii) terpolymer of polytetrafluoroethylene, polyvinyldifluoride and pol)rpropylene mixed with 4 wt. % of single or multi-walled carbon nanotubes and (iii) nanostructured or hierarchically micro- and nanostructured diamond layers deposited on silicon substrates [23].

Lubricants are added to most polymers at low levels to increase the overall rate of processing or to improve surface properties [1-4], They have been used in the past to facilitate extrusion, injection, compression, etc., of many polymers, mainly PVC, acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer (ABS), PS, PMMA, cellulose acetate (CA), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and so on. Figure 2.1 shows the relative importance of these polymers as far as the use of lubricants is concerned [5]. The most used lubricants and their relative importance in the United States in 1978 were [6] ...
