Carbon-based nanomaterials are great choice as reinforcement to Ultra-High Molecular-Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE), with potential use in orthopedics. While high in-plane-stiffness and strength of these nanomaterials help in toughening, their weaker out-of-plane integrity offers lubrication. Present study investigates effect of aspect ratio of carbon nanotubes (CNT) on toughening and solid-lubrication efficiency of UHMWPE-matrix. A nominal 0.05–0.1 wt.% of CNT addition increases hardness and elastic modulus of UHMWPE by 3–45% and 8–42%, respectively. Higher aspect ratio (HAR) CNTs are found more effective in improving hardness and modulus of UHMWPE. Wear rate and friction-coefficient also increase by 530% and 220%, respectively, while reinforced with HAR CNTs. Thermal analysis shows slight increase in crystallinity and stability of composite. HAR CNTs improve interfacial bonding with matrix, due to their morphological similarity to polymer chains, as compared to low aspect ratio CNT. Aspect ratio of CNTs significantly dominates strengthening and tribological behavior of UHMWPE. 相似文献

Effects of substrate bias voltage and target sputtering power on the structural and tribological properties of carbon nitride (CNx) coatings are investigated. CNx coatings are fabricated by a hybrid coating process with the combination of radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF PECVD) and DC magnetron sputtering at various substrate bias voltage and target sputtering power in the order of −400 V 200 W, −400 V 100 W, −800 V 200 W, and −800 V 100 W. The deposition rate, N/C atomic ratio, and hardness of CNx coatings as well as friction coefficient of CNx coating sliding against AISI 52100 pin in N2 gas stream decrease, while the residual stress of CNx coatings increases with the increase of substrate bias voltage and the decrease of target sputtering power. The highest hardness measured under single stiffness mode of 15.0 GPa and lowest residual stress of 3.7 GPa of CNx coatings are obtained at −400 V 200 W, whereas the lowest friction coefficient of 0.12 of CNx coatings is achieved at −800 V 100 W. Raman and XPS analysis suggest that sp3 carbon bonding decreases and sp2 carbon bonding increases with the variations in substrate bias voltage and target sputtering power. Optical images and Raman characterization of worn surfaces confirm that the friction behavior of CNx coatings is controlled by the directly sliding between CNx coating and steel pin. Therefore, the reduction of friction coefficient is attributed to the decrease of sp3 carbon bonding in the CNx coating. It is concluded that substrate bias voltage and target sputtering power are effective parameters for tailoring the structural and tribological properties of CNx coatings. 相似文献

Effects of an amorphous silicon underlayer on the evolution of microstructure and hardness of an amorphous carbon film annealed at 900 °C for 0.5-1.5 h were investigated. The two-layer carbon/silicon film after annealing resulted in higher sp2/sp3 bonding ratio but lower hardness reduction compared to the single carbon film at the same total film thickness. The improved hardness reduction of the high-temperature annealed carbon film is attributed to the formation of polycrystals of the amorphous silicon together with the residual compressive stress of the two-layer C/Si films. 相似文献

In the present work, multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWNT) reinforced UHMWPE composite films were prepared by electrostatic spraying followed by consolidation. X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry studies showed a decrease in the crystallinity of UHMWPE due to the nature of the fabrication process as well as addition of MWNT. Tensile test showed an 82% increase in the Young’s modulus, decrease in stress to failure from 14.3 to 12.4 MPa and strain to failure from 3.9% to 1.4% due to 5% addition of MWNT. Raman spectra showed the presence of compressive stresses in the nanotubes. Fracture surface showed presence of pullout like phenomena in the MWNT reinforced film. 相似文献

The ternary laminate composite of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)/high strength glass fabric (S-glass fabric)/phenolic resin was prepared, in which UHMWPE microparticles were etched by chromic acid and S-glass fabrics were treated by silane coupling agent. The interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) and tribological properties of the composite in water environment were investigated, in comparison with those of the composite without any treatments on fillers and the composite with single treatment on UHMWPE. Results showed that the composite with the combined treatment exhibited the best interfacial bond, accordingly showing remarkably enhanced water repellency, ILSS and tribological properties under water lubrication. Furthermore, after experiencing 48 h water immersion, the composites with both single and combined treatment did not suffer any degradation of ILSS and water-lubricated tribological performances, showing excellent duration in water environment. 相似文献

The effect of fillers on morphology and wear characteristics are studied in butadiene rubber (PBR)/high styrene rubber (HSR)/natural rubber (NR) blends with different types of carbon black. SAF N110 with SRF N774 type of carbon black shows a significant effect on curing studies and mechanical properties by reacting at the interface between PBR, HSR and NR matrix. Blends containing the same carbon blacks show high abrasion resistant properties against Du-Pont abrader, DIN abrader and different mining rock surfaces and also is found to be the toughest rubber against all types of rock. 相似文献

ZnO thin films are grown on Si substrates with SiC buffer layer using ion plasma high frequency magnetron sputtering. These substrates are fabricated using a technique of solid phase epitaxy. With this technique SiC layer of thickness 20-200 nm had been grown on Si substrates consisting pores of sizes 0.5-5 μm at SiC and Si interface. Due to mismatching in lattice constants as well as thermal expansion coefficients, elastic stresses have been developed in ZnO film. Pores at the interface of SiC and Si are acting as the elastic stress reliever of the ZnO films making them strain free epitaxial. ZnO film grown on this especially fabricated Si substrate with SiC buffer layer exhibits excellent crystalline quality as characterized using X-ray diffraction. Surface topography of the film has been characterized using Atomic Force Microscopy as well as Scanning Electron Microscopy. Chemical compositions of the films have been analyzed using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy. Optical properties of the films are investigated using Photoluminescence Spectroscopy which also shows good optical quality. 相似文献

Large-grained and 7 μm thick CdTe film has been fabricated on top of Mo coated soda-lime glass substrate. As a new approach the dynamic recrystallization process (DRC) was used to form the structure of films. For the characterization of the structure and composition of the films a scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray microanalysis (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) methods were used. The changes in the structure of films were studied in accordance with the process temperature, pressure and as-deposited film thickness. Significant changes in the CdTe film were observed after DRC of deposited films at the process temperatures between 450 °C and 550 °C. EDS quantitative analysis showed that during the recrystallization the Mo and CdTe films composition remained stable for all studied samples. The XRD results showed that the increase in the process temperature caused improvement in orientation of the films along direction of (111). The DRC temperature above 550 °C reduced the orientation again. The limits of the temperature and pressure in application of soda-lime glass in DRC were found and discussed. 相似文献
