The polymer composites filled with nanoparticles have good friction and wear properties and widely used in many fields. The performances of nanocomposites are influenced extensively by the nanoparticles morphology, size, volume fraction and dispersion. Nanometer ZrO₂ particles have good properties, lower prices and shows good foreground in resist-materials of polymer composites. In this paper, the nanometer ZrO₂ particles are treated by silane coupling agent of N-(2-aminoethyl)-γ-aminopropylmethyl dimethoxy silane. The effect of nanometer ZrO₂ content and silane coupling agent on the friction and wear properties of BMI copmposites filled with nanometer ZrO₂ are investigated. The composites filled with untreated ZrO₂ and treated ZrO₂ are prepared by the same way of mechanical high shear dispersion process and casting method. The sliding wear performance of the nanocomposites is studied on an M-200 friction and wear tester. The experimental results indicate that the frictional coefficient and the wear rate of the composites can be reduced by filled with nanometer ZrO₂. The composites containing treated nanometer ZrO₂ have the better tribological performance than that containing untreated nanometer ZrO₂. The results are explained from the SEM morphologies of the worn surface of matrix resin and the composites containing nanometer ZrO₂ and the TEM photographs of the nanometer ZrO₂ dispersion in the matrix.
