Friction and wear mechanisms of PA66/PPS blend reinforced with carbon fiber

The mechanical and tribological properties of carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyamide 66 (PA66)/polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) blend composite were studied in this article. It was found that CF reinforcement greatly increases the mechanical properties of PA66/PPS blend. The friction coefficient of the sample decreases with the increase of CF content. When CF content is lower (below 30%), the wear resistance is deteriorated by the addition of CF. However, the loading of higher than 30% CF significantly improves the tribological properties of the blend. The lowest friction coefficient (0.31) and the wear volume (1.05 mm³) were obtained with the PA66/PPS blend containing 30% CF. The transfer film and the worn surface formed by sample during sliding were examined by scanning electron microscopy. The observations revealed that the friction coefficient of PA66/PPS/CF composite depends on the formation and development of a transfer film on the counterface. The abrasive wear caused by ruptured CFs (for lower CF content) and the load bearing ability of CFs (for higher CF content) are the major factors affecting the wear volume. In addition, the improvements of mechanical properties, thermal conductivity, and self‐lubrication of bulk CFs are also contributed to the wear behavior of PA66/PPS/CF composite. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

The Effect of Silane Surface Treatment of Carbon Fiber on the Tribological Properties of Bismaleimide(BMI) Composite

Silane surface modification method was used for the surface treatment of carbon fiber to improve the interfacial adhesion of the carbon fiber reinforced bismaleimide(BMI) composite. The surface characteristics of untreated and treated carbon fiber were characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscope. The friction and wear properties of the BMI composites filled with differently surface treated carbon fibers(20 vol%), were investigated on a ring-on-block tribometer. Experimental results revealed that silane treatment largely reduced the friction and wear of CF/BMI composites. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) of worn surfaces of BMI composites showed that surface treated CF/BMI composite had the strongest interfacial adhesion.     

THE INFLUENCE OF OXIDATION OF THE FIBERS ON THE TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF CARBON FIBER-REINFORCED NYLON COMPOSITES

Three-dimensional braided carbon fiber-reinforced nylon composites (C_3D/MCN) were prepared in order to investigate the influence of oxidation of carbon fibers on the tribological properties of the C_3D/MCN composites. Friction and wear tests of the C_3D/MCN composites with untreated and treated carbon fabric were conducted. The characteristics of the carbon fiber, the interface strength, the hardness, and the worn surface morphologies of the C_3D/MCN composites were analyzed. The results show that the specific surface area of treated carbon fiber was far higher than that of untreated carbon fiber and there formed a functional group of -C=O on the carbon fiber surface after air oxidation. The oxidation of the carbon fibers improved the interface strength between the carbon fibers and the matrix and had little effect on the hardness of the composites. The friction coefficient and wear rate of C_3D/MCN composites with oxidized carbon fibers were apparently lower than those with untreated carbon fibers. In conclusion, the oxidation of the fibers showed good effects on the improvement of the interface strength and the tribological properties of the composites.

Effect of nitric acid surface treatment on tensile and tribological properties of thermoplastic polyimide composite filled with carbon fibre

Abstract

Polyacrylonitrile based carbon fibres were submitted to nitric acid oxidation treatments to improve the interfacial adhesion of the carbon fibre reinforced polyimide (CF/PI) composite. The carbon fibre surfaces were characterised by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Nitric acid oxidation not only affects the oxygen concentration, but also produces an appreciable change in the nature of the chemical functions, namely the conversion of hydroxy type oxygen into carboxyl functions. Nitrogen concentration of nitric acid oxidation treated carbon fibre is ～1·2 times higher compared with untreated one. The mechanical and tribological properties of the CF/PI composites treated with nitric acid oxidation were investigated. Results showed that the tensile strength of the CF/PI composites improved remarkably due to nitric acid treatment along with enhancement in friction and wear performance.     

The mechanical and tribological properties of nitric acid‐treated carbon fiber‐reinforced polyoxymethylene composites

The carbon fibers have been exposed to nitric acid oxidation treatments and introduced into polyoxymethylene composites (POM/CF). The nitric acid treatment increases the number of the flaws, roughness of the surface, and disorder of carbon atoms on fiber, as well as introduces reactive functional groups, which could lead to a better mechanical bonding between fiber and the matrix. It is shown that the impact strength and fiber‐matrix adhesion in composites (POM/mCF) are superior to those for POM/CF composites. Simultaneously, the addition of mCF improves flexural strength and modulus relative to virgin POM significantly. Average friction coefficient values of POM/CF composites are lower than that of POM/mCF composites. As the percentage of fiber increases, the trend of wear ratio of the composites goes down initially and bumps up afterwards. The results indicate that the proper contents of CF and mCF in composites range from 5 wt % to 20 wt %. Scanning electron microscopy of worn surface morphology has revealed that the main wear mechanism of the composites were adhesive wear and ploughing wear. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl.

Improved tribological properties of polyimide composites by micro–nano reinforcement

The hydroxylate carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were grafted by chemical method on the surface of the oxidized carbon fibers (CF) to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of polyimide (PI). The microstructure and fracture surface of the polyimide composites indicated that CF–CNTs hybrid as a multiscale reinforcement can distribute into the PI matrix homogeneously. Tribo-tests further showed that CF–CNTs hybrid had a better effect on hardness increment, impact strength enhancement, friction reduction, and wear resistance. Compared to the neat PI, the friction coefficient and wear rate of CF–CNTs/PI composite deceased by 23.2 and 55.9%, respectively. In particular, the loading capacity and high speed resistance of CF–CNTs/PI composite were greatly improved. The corresponding wear mechanisms were also discussed by observing the worn surface of the PI composites. © 2019 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym. Sci. 2019 , 136, 47900.     

Mechanical and tribological properties of PA66/PPS blend. III. Reinforced with GF

Based on previous work, 70 vol % PA66/30 vol % PPS blend was selected as a matrix, and the PA66/PPS blend reinforced with different content of glass fiber (GF) was prepared in this study. The mechanical properties of PA66/PPS/GF composites were studied, and the tribological behaviors were tested on block‐on‐ring sliding wear tester. The results showed that 20–30 vol % GF greatly increases the mechanical properties of PA66/PPS blend. When GF content is 20 vol %, the friction coefficient of composite is the lowest (0.35), which is decreased by 47% in comparison with the unfilled blend. The wear volume of the GF‐reinforced PA66/PPS blend composite decreases with the increase of GF content. However, the wear‐resistance is not apparently improved by the addition of GF in the experimental range for comparison with unfilled PA66/PPS blend. The worn surface and the transfer film on the counterface were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The observations revealed that the friction coefficient of composite depends on the formation and development of a transfer film. The wear mechanism involves polymer matrix wear and fiber wear. The former consists of melting wear and plastic deformation of the matrix, while the latter includes fiber sliding wear, cracking, rupturing, and pulverizing. The contributions of the matrix wear and the fiber wear determine the ultimate wear volume of PA66/PPS/GF composite. In addition, the abrasive action caused by the ruptured glass fiber is also a very important factor. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 102: 523–529, 2006

The Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Anodic Oxidation Treatment Carbon Fiber-Filled PU Composite

The interfacial adhesion of the carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyurethane (PU) composite was improved by the means of anodic oxidation treatment. The mechanical and reciprocating sliding wear properties were studied and results showed that the anodic oxidation treatment have definitely improved the mechanical strength. And the wear and the friction coefficient of PU decreased with the addition of CF. The friction coefficients of anodic oxidation treated CF/PU composites are lower than those of PU and CF/PU composite. The interfacial adhesion between the CF and PU dominated the main wear mechanisms.

Influence of surface modification of carbon nanotube on microstructures and properties of polyamide 66/multiwalled carbon nanotube composites

The melt‐mixing polyamide 66 (PA66) composite samples that incorporated pure, acid‐ and amine‐functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared in order to enhance mechanical and frictional properties of PA66 composites. The homogeneous dispersion of amine‐functionalized MWCNTs (D‐MWCNTs) in PA66 matrix was observed from the significantly uniform morphology of tensile fractured surface of the composites. Differential scanning calorimetry measurement indicates that D‐MWCNTs acted as effective nucleation agent for PA66 matrix and the crystallinity of PA66 was increased. The fracture stress and tensile modulus of the composites were significantly improved with the incorporation of D‐MWCNTs, owing to the good dispersion of D‐MWCNTs. Compared with PA66, the PA66 composites with 1.0 wt% D‐MWCNTs were improved considerably in both wear and friction properties owing to the change of the tribological mechanisms. The good dispersion of D‐MWCNTs in PA66 and good interface compatibility between D‐MWCNTs and PA66 favored the formation of a thin layer on the contact surfaces during wear and friction test, which played an important role in reducing wear and friction of the composite and in suppressing the transverse cracks. These results prove the importance of D‐MWCNTs in a positive change of the mechanical and frictional properties of PA66 composites and suggest the applicability prospect of PA66/D‐MWCNTs composites in engineering components.POLYM.

The friction and wear properties of clay filled PA66

Polyamide 66(PA66)/clay nanocomposites were prepared by direct melt compounding. The mechanical and tribological properties were evaluated. It was found that addition of clay into PA66 increased the bending strength and microhardness of PA66. And also, the incorporation of clay can reduce the friction coefficient of PA66. The nanocomposites which have the mass fraction less than 5% show less wear rate compared with neat PA66. High fraction of clay can cause severe agglomerated abrasives. The differences in the friction and wear behaviors of PA66 and PA66/clay nanocomposites are attributed to the differences in their surface morphologies, transfer film characteristic. The agglomerated abrasives on the worn surface contribute to the increase of wear rate of nanocomposites of higher mass fraction clay. The friction and wear behaviors of PA66 and its nanocomposites under high temperature exhibit similar tendency with those under 25°C. POLYM. ENG.

Tribological behaviors of carbon series additions reinforced CF/PTFE composites at high speed

The tribological, mechanical, and thermal properties of carbon series additions reinforced CF/PTFE composites at high speed were investigated. In this work, carbon fiber (CF) filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites, which have excellent tribological properties under normal sliding speed (1.4 m/s), were filled with some carbon materials [graphene (GE), carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphite (Gr)] respectively to investigate the tribological properties of CF/PTFE composites at high sliding speed (2.1 and 2.5 m/s). The results reveal that the carbon series additions can improve the friction and anti‐wear performances of CF/PTFE, and GE is the most effective filler. The wear rate of 0.8 wt % GE/CF/PTFE was decreased by 50 ? 55%, 55 ? 60%, 40 ? 45% at 1.4, 2.1, and 2.5 m/s compared with CF/PTFE. SEM study shows GE could be helpful to form smooth and continuous transfer film on the surface of counterparts. Meanwhile, GE can improve its tensile strength and elastic modulus obviously. Thin layer structure of GE could enhance the thermal conductivity, which can be helpful to dissipate heat of CF/PTFE composites wear surface. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J. Appl. Polym.

X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study of carbon fiber surface showed that the increase in the amount of oxygen-containing groups enhanced interfacial adhesion between CF and PTFE matrix. With strong interfacial adhesion of the composite, stress could be effectively transmitted to carbon fibers; carbon fibers were strongly bonded with PTFE matrix.
