Self-lubricating behaviour of materials is very demanded in industry. In this study we investigated the effect of anisometric nanostructured ZnO filler (tetrapod shaped particles with arm length of 70–100 nm and diameter of 10 nm) and ethylene-1-octene copolymer on structure and tribological properties of isotactic polypropylene (PP). It was observed that addition of EOC caused the increment of roughness as well as of the coefficient of friction (COF) of the investigated composites. Addition of ZnO, in its turn, caused decrement of the COF and improvement of surface quality at certain nanofiller contents.
