Epoxy composite coatings filled with boron nitride of single layer (SBN) were prepared through a dip-coating method. The friction and wear behaviors of the coatings were performed, and the results showed that the wear life of composite coatings was obviously higher than that of pristine coating with low SBN content; however, friction coefficients only decreased slightly. The optimal content of SBN was 3 wt.%, and the wear life of the composite coating increased by 179% compared with that of pristine coating. The morphology of worn surfaces was studied, and the wear mechanisms were discussed.

“…However most of these developments result in compromising the in-plane mechanical properties; where stitching, braiding, 3D weaving, and z-pinning reduce the overall in-plane properties, toughened resins and interleaving can degrade the compressive strength of the composite if not incorporated thoughtfully. Micro-and nanosized fillers are also used to improve interlaminar properties [15][16][17]. A limitation of these additives is the formation of large stress concentrations around agglomerated fillers.…”

This investigation describes the design, fabrication, and testing of woven glass fiber reinforced epoxy matrix laminates with aligned CNT sheets integrated between plies in order to improve the matrix dominated through thickness properties such as the interlaminar fracture toughness at ply interfaces. Using aligned CNT sheets allows for a concentration of millimeter long CNTs at the most likely point of laminate failure. Mode I and Mode II interlaminar fracture toughness of various CNT modified samples were investigated using double cantilever beam (DCB) and end notched flexure (ENF) experiments, respectively. Short beam strength (SBS) and in-plane tensile properties of the CNT modified samples were also investigated. Moderate improvement was observed in Mode I and Mode II fracture toughness at crack initiation when aligned CNT sheets with a basis weight of 0.354 g/m 2 were used to modify the ply interface. No compromise in the in-plane mechanical properties of the laminate was observed and very little improvement was observed in the shear related short beam strength of the CNT modified laminates as compared to the control samples. Integration of aligned CNT sheets into the composite laminate imparted in-plane and through thickness electrical properties into the nonconductive glass fiber reinforced epoxy composite laminates.

Carbon/aramid fabric composite coatings modified with boron nitride of single layer were fabricated through a dip-coating method. The composite coatings were cured with successive heating processes in an oven. The friction and wear properties of those asprepared coatings were studied on a block-on-ring tester. The obtained results showed that the wear life of the coatings increased obviously after inclusion of boron nitride of single layer; however, the values of friction coefficients of the coatings almost remained constant. The optimal loadings of boron nitride of single layer in our experiments was 5 wt.%, and the wear life of the modified coating increased by ca. 360% compared with that of pristine fabric composite coating. The worn morphology of the sliding surface for both pristine fabric coating and the composite coatings filled with boron nitride of single layer was discussed, and the wear mechanisms were illuminated.
