用双螺杆共混挤出法制备了不同比例的聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)纤维改性聚甲醛(POM),考察了PTFE纤维含量对POM摩擦磨损性能、力学性能和热稳定性的影响。在POM/PTFE耐磨体系中,创新性地引入聚氧化乙烯(PEO)作为相容剂,制备出耐磨性能和韧性俱佳的POM改性材料。对POM改性材料进行了耐磨性和力学性能分析,利用偏光显微镜进一步证实了PEO能促进PTFE纤维和POM的相容性。结果表明,随着PTFE纤维含量的增加,POM的摩擦磨损性能有所提高,但力学性能不理想。在8%PTFE+92%POM体系中引入PEO,改性材料的摩擦因数低至0.169,缺口冲击强度比POM提高了173%,得到了耐磨和增韧效果显著的POM改性材料。     

Mechanical and tribological properties of polyoxymethylene modified with nanoparticles and solid lubricants

Polyoxymethylene (POM) composites modified with nanoparticles, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and MoS₂ were prepared by a twin‐screw extruder. The effect of nanoparticles and solid lubricant PTFE/MoS₂ on mechanical and tribological properties of the composites were studied. Tribological tests were conducted on an Amsler friction and wear tester using a block‐on‐ring arrangement under dry sliding and oil lubricated conditions, respectively. The results showed that generally speaking POM nanocomposites had better stiffness and tribological properties than corresponding POM composites attributed to the high surface energy of nanoparticles, except that the tensile strength of three composites and dry‐sliding tribological properties of POM/3%Al₂O₃ nanocomposite decreased due to the agglomeration of nanoparticles. Tribological properties differed under dry sliding and oil lubricated conditions. The friction coefficient and wear volume of POM nanocomposites under oil lubricated condition decreased significantly. The increased deformation resistance supported the increased wear resistance of POM nanocomposites. POM/PTFE/MoS₂/3%Al₂O₃ nanocomposite had the best mechanical and tribological properties of all three composites, which was attributed to the synergistic effect of nanoparticles and PTFE/MoS₂. POLYM.

The effect of interface modification between POM and PTFE on the properties of POM/PTFE composites

A plasma technique was applied to modify the surface of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fiber to improve the compatibility between PTFE and polyacetal (POM). This technique used argon (Ar) plasma to treat PTFE fiber first and then grafting the fiber with acrylic acid (AAc) by peroxidation. The Ar plasma‐treated PTFE (PPTFE) fiber and AAc‐grafted PPTFE (AAc‐g‐PPTFE) fiber were added into POM to increase the wear resistance and to decrease the friction coefficient of POM. The variables of the experiments were plasma treatment time, monomer concentration of AAc, and grafting time. The graft copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The stress–strain behavior, impact strength, Taber wear factor, friction coefficient, and morphology of composites were also investigated. The properties of POM/PTFE composites could be successful modified by surface modification of PTFE in this investigation. The impact strength of POM/AAc‐g‐PPTFE composites was more than twice of that of POM/PTFE composites. The Taber wear factor and friction coefficient of POM/AAc‐g‐PPTFE composites decreased markedly. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 78: 800–807, 2000     

Influence of PTFE as a solid lubricant on the mechanical,electrical, and tribological properties of CF-reinforced PC composites

The objective of this research was to study the effects of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) as a solid lubricant on the mechanical, electrical, and tribological properties of carbon fiber (CF)-reinforced polycarbonate (PC) composites. Samples were prepared by means of single-screw extrusion and injection molding processes. The mechanical tests included tensile, flexural, and failing weight impact tests, while the electrical tests consisted of surface and volume resistivity tests. The tribological testing was conducted under dry sliding conditions using pin-on-disk configuration. The results showed that the addition of CF managed to significantly reduce the electrical resistivity as the CF loading approached 10–15 wt%. The addition of PTFE managed to reduce the resistivity of the composite, that is, from 4.51 to 0.53 × 10 (Ωcm). The incorporation of 15 wt%. CF resulted with an increase of 45% in tensile strength and 51.5% in flexural strength, while the addition of PTFE had a negative impact on both properties. It was shown that PTFE was able to reduce the friction coefficient, μ and wear rate, K up to 0.257 and 6.35 × 10⁶ (mm³/Nm), respectively, which can be attributed to the excellent abilities of PTFE to form transfer film. The composite consisting of 15 wt% CF and 10 wt%. PTFE showed highest improvement in term of electrical resistivity, and is deemed the most suitable composition for this study. Scanning electron microscopy was also carried out to further elucidate the fracture and wear mechanism of the PC/CF/PTFE composites.     

Properties of potassium titanate whisker reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene-based friction materials of ultrasonic motors

Ultrasonic motors (USMs) are driven by friction forces between a stator and rotor. So the output properties and life of USMs are strongly related to the properties, such as the mechanical and tribological properties, of the frictional materials. In this study, the effects of the content of potassium titanate whiskers (PTWs) on the mechanical and tribological properties of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based friction materials and the performances of the corresponding USMs were studied. The morphology of worn surfaces of PTFE composites were observed with a scanning electron microscope. The experimental results show that the PTWs not only increased the hardness and elastic modulus of the PTFE composites but also increased the friction coefficient and wear resistance of the PTFE composites. On the whole, the PTFE-based friction materials filled with 5 wt % PTWs were the preferable friction materials for USMs. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2012     

Tribological and mechanical properties of carbon‐nanofiber‐filled polytetrafluoroethylene composites

The effects of various filler concentrations (0.1, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3 wt %) on the tribological and mechanical properties of carbon‐nanofiber (CNF)‐filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites were studied. Moreover, the influence of various loads (50, 100, 150, and 200 N) and sliding velocities (0.692 and 1.39 m/s) on the friction and wear behaviors of the PTFE composites was investigated. The results showed that the friction coefficients of the PTFE composites decreased initially up to a 0.5 wt % filler concentration and then increased, whereas the antiwear properties of the PTFE composites increased by 1–2 orders of magnitude in comparison with those of pure PTFE. The composite with a 2 wt % filler concentration had the best antiwear properties under all friction conditions. The friction coefficients of the CNF/PTFE composites decreased with increases in the load and sliding velocity, whereas the wear volume loss of the PTFE composites increased. At the same time, the results also indicated that the mechanical properties of the PTFE composites increased first up to a 1 wt % filler concentration and then decreased as the filler concentration was increased above 1 wt %. In comparison with pure PTFE, the impact strength, tensile strength, and elongation to break of the PTFE composites increased by 40, 20, and 70%, respectively, at a 1 wt % filler concentration. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Influence of organic montmorillonite nanoparticles on the microstructures and thermal and tribological properties of polyethersulfone and polytetrafluoroethylene composites

Because of high wear rate and low thermal deformation temperature, the generalization and application of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in the field of tribology is restrained to a certain extent. In order to improve the wear resistance and thermal stability of this self‐lubricating polymer, organic montmorillonite (OMMT) nanoparticle reinforced polyethersulfone (PES) and PTFE ternary composites were prepared by the cold molding and vacuum sintering technology. The effects of sodium montmorillonite (Na‐MMT) and OMMT on the microstructures, thermal stabilities and tribological properties of PTFE composites were comparatively studied. The results show that the thermal stability of the PES/PTFE composites is clearly improved by the incorporation of OMMT nanoparticles. Not only the friction coefficients but also the wear rates of OMMT/PES/PTFE composites are less than those of Na‐MMT/PES/PTFE composites under identical tribological tests. Of all these PTFE composites, the PES/PTFE composite containing 10.0 wt% OMMT nanoparticles exhibits the best friction and wear properties (μ = 0.14, k = 5.78 × 10^?15 m³ N^–1 m^?1). This can be attributed to the existence of a polymer multicomponent layer consisting of PTFE, PES and OMMT on the composite surface as well as the formation of uniform PTFE transfer film on the worn surfaces of metal counterparts.

The Effect of Carbon Fiber Content on the Mechanical and Tribological Properties of Carbon Fiber-Reinforced PTFE Composites

Blending polytetrafluorothylene (PTFE) to carbon fiber at different compositions was produced in a corotating twin screw extruder where PTFE acts as the polymer matrix and carbon fiber as the dispersed phase. The effects of carbon fiber content on mechanical and tribological properties of the composites were investigated. The worn surface morphologies of neat PTFE and its composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the wear mechanisms were discussed. The presence of carbon fiber dispersed in the PTFE continuous phase exhibited superior tribological characteristics to unfilled PTFE. The optimum wear reduction was obtained when the content of carbon fiber is 30 vol%.

Green and self-lubricating polyoxymethylene composites filled with low-density polyethylene and rice husk flour

Polyoxymethylene (POM) composites filled with low-density polyethylene (LDPE) and rice husk flour (RHF) were prepared by injection molding. The POM/5 wt % LDPE/7.5 wt % RHF composite exhibited the lowest wear rate, whereas the coefficient of friction remained low, and the POM/5 wt % LDPE/5 wt % RHF composite had the best mechanical properties. X-ray diffraction analysis was carried out, and the worn surfaces were examined with scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that the addition of the filler reduced the crystallinity degree of the POM composites. The main wear mechanism for unfilled POM was adhesion, whereas for the POM composites, wear seemed to occur mainly by fatigue and abrasion. It was experimentally confirmed that the POM composite filled with LDPE and RHF, which is well-performing, low-cost, and environmentally friendly, could be a potential material for tribological applications. © 2008 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Comparative study on the tribological properties of poly(arylene ether nitrile)/polytetrafluoroethylene composites: The influence of filler size and testing conditions

In this work, the influence of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) filler size and testing conditions (i.e., air, water, and lubricating oil) on the tribological properties of poly(arylene ether nitrile) (PEN) was systematically investigated. The results showed that the addition of PTFE was beneficial to improve the tribological properties of PEN-based composites which was related to the easier formation of transfer film on the surface of friction pair. Samples which were tested in water demonstrated a relatively higher friction coefficient (μ) and wear loss when compared with those tested in dry air and lubricating oil scenarios, which was attributed to the fact that friction induced heat and wear debris could be timely removed by water. In addition, the infiltration of water further reduced the interaction between PTFE filler and PEN, which aggravated the wear loss of sample blocks. When tested in lubricating oil, pure PEN showed the lowest wear loss when compared with that of PEN/PTFE composites. At a given content (20 wt%) of PTFE fillers, PEN/PTFE_1.5μm exhibited the lowest μ in lubricating oil whereas PEN/PTFE_5μm demonstrated the lowest specific wear loss in air condition (1.18 × 10⁻⁶ mm³/N·m). This work provided some useful information for the design and application of PTFE-containing polymer composites that can be targeted in different lubrication scenarios in industrial fields.     

The effect of annealing of milled carbon fibers on the mechanical and tribological properties of solid-lubricant thermoplastic polyimide-based composites

The mechanical and tribological properties of polyimide (PI)-based composites loaded with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and milled carbon fibers (MCF) in the as received and annealed states were studied in order to increase adhesion to the polymer matrix. It has been shown that loading with micron-range MCF (200 μm) doubles elastic modulus of the composites while all other physical and mechanical properties remain at neat PI levels. The three-component composite loaded with annealed MCF and PTFE has possessed the highest wear resistance. In comparison with neat PI, its wear rate has decreased by ∼312 times for the metal-polymer tribological contact and by ∼286 times for the ceramic-polymer one. Based on the obtained experimental data, the most preferential conditions for their implementation (load-speed modes for the given types of the tribological contacts) have been determined using a developed computer algorithm. The designed solid-lubricant ''PI + 10 wt% PTFE + 10 wt% MCF_annealed'' composite has been recommended for both metal-polymer and ceramic-polymer tribological units.
