The  specific  operating  conditions  of  products  made  of  thermoplastic materials  necessitate  targeted  modification  of  polymer  binders,  which  reduces  the characteristic disadvantages of thermoplastics and enhances their advantages .The article examines some aspects of the use of composite materials based on thermoplastics. The most effective modifiers of polymer matrices, from the point of view  of  increasing  their  parameters  of  deformation-strength  and  tribotechnical characteristics,  are  components  that  prevent  the  development  of  thermo -oxidative destruction and tribocracking processes. In our opinion, the formed requirements for functional composite materials based on thermoplastics can be ensured by implementing the  basic methodological principles,  which  consist  in  increasing  the  resistance  to  the  effects  of  thermo oxidizing and operating environments and aging.
