Influence of lubricant filling on the dry sliding wear behaviors of hybrid PTFE/Nomex fabric composite
To improve the antiwear property and load carrying capacity of hybrid PTFE/Nomex fabric/phenolic composites, graphene and graphene oxide (GO) had been synthesized and were employed as fillers, together with graphite. Sliding wear tests show that the wear rates of filler-reinforced PTFE/Nomex fabric composites were reduced greatly when compared to unfilled fabric composite. Besides, it was found that the 2 wt% GO filled PTFE/Nomex fabric composites exhibited the optimal tribological properties. It was proposed that the self-lubrication of GO, the favorable interface stability of the composite, and the uniform transfer film on the counterpart pin contributed together to the reinforced tribological property of GO filled PTFE/Nomex fabric composite. We also investigated the influence of filler content, applied load, sliding speed, and tensile and bonding strength on the tribological properties of PTFE/Nomex fabric composites.
