Laminated composites reinforced with strong layers and plastic layers are prepared with lamination-bonding process. The strong layer is composed of silicon steel
and the plastic layer is composed of self-lubricating polymer composites fabricated with epoxy resin

and graphite powders. Dry tribological behaviors of the laminated composites are evaluated by a pin-on-disc tester. The results indicate that the laminated composites are endowed with remarkably low friction and wear
which have a low coefficient of friction of 0.15 and a low wear rate of 3.8×10

S and Mo are found in the strong layers at wear scars. Fe and Si are examined in the plastic laye
rs with energy dispersive spectroscopy. It is revealed that the self-lubricating ingredients permeate and transfer to the contact interface under rubbing heat and the plastic layer has trapped metal wear debris. The laminated composites show good wear resistance and anti-friction performances due to the synergistic effect of strong layer and the plastic layer.
