“…The mechanical properties such as hardness, tensile strength, tensile modulus, ductility are improved as the fibers reinforcement content increase in the polymeric matrix materials [6][7][8][9][10][11]. Over the last two decades, the investigation on wear and friction characteristics of many types of polymer composites were reported, such as carbon fibre reinforced polyamide polymer composite [12,13,14], carbon fibre epoxy composite [15,16,17], carbon fibre/glass epoxy composite [18][19][20][21][22][23] and fibre length and particle sizes on epoxy composite [24,25] and nano-size effect [26,27]. Also, influence of parameters such as fibre content, fibre angle, type of resin/fibre, process parametres and, especially fibre orientation on the wear rate is very important [5,[28][29][30].…”

Optimization in tribological behaviour of AlnanoTiO2 powder metallurgy composites using response surface method D Balaji, M Vetrivel, M Ekambaram et al. Abstract. Tribological behaviour of unidirectional carbon fibre-reinforced epoxy composites containing 42wt.% (CU42) and 52wt.% (CU52) carbon fibres fabricated by moulding technique was investigated on a pin-on-flat plate configuration. It is the first time to measure static and dynamic coefficient of frictions and wear rates of epoxy composites under heavy loading conditions. Microstructures of composites were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The experimental results indicated the carbon fiber improved the tribological properties of thermoset epoxy by reducing wear rate, but increased the coefficient of friction. At higher load, average wear rates were about 10.8x10 -5 mm 3 /N.m for composites while it was about 38.20x10 -5 mm 3 /N.m for epoxy resin. The wear rate decreased with decreasing load while friction coefficient increased with decreasing load. Moreover, friction coefficient of composites of CU42 tested at 90 N load was measured to be in the range 0.35 and 0.13 for static and dynamic component, respectively.

“…In the case of the Ep samples brought into contact with the 100Cr6 steel ball, we assume that a transfer film was formed on the ball and stuck to it, via tribochemical interactions with the counter body material [42]. When this layer is present on both contacting surfaces, the composition of the sample and the sliding counter body becomes similar and then the coefficient of friction becomes stable [43].…”

Tribological response of an epoxy matrix filled with graphite and/or carbon nanotubes

Reinforced polymer-matrix composites are widely used under sliding contact conditions in various boating and automotive applications. In this paper, the friction and wear of bulk epoxy and carbon filler reinforced epoxy composites have been investigated using a pin-on-disc tribometer. The effect of different fillers on the tribological behavior of an epoxy has been studied using treated and untreated carbon nanotubes, graphite, and a mixture of graphite and carbon nanotubes. Filler addition greatly enhances the tribological properties of the epoxy resin, by reducing the friction coefficient and the wear rate. In addition, it was found that the treated carbon nanotubes/epoxy composites have the best tribological behavior. Moreover, a correlation between contact temperature and friction coefficient is reported. Finally, the wear mechanisms were determined by scanning electronic microscopy.

“…This improvement is associated with the observed changes on the transfer film. Suresha et al [9] reduced wear in epoxy carbon fiber reinforced by using a graphite filler (5 and 10 wt.%). The wear reduction using graphite filler is associated with reduction in the removal of fiber, a phenomenon that can be linked to the switch of the wear mechanism from microcracking to microplowing/microcutting.…”

Study of the effect of amino-functionalized multiwall carbon nanotubes on dry sliding wear resistance properties of carbon fiber reinforced thermoset polymers

This work investigates the effect of multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the mechanical and tribological behavior of a fiber reinforced composite (FRC). Fiber reinforced composites and nano-engineered FRCs are manufactured by resin transfer molding. In-plane tensile tests, in-plane shear tests and through-thickness compression tests are used to assess the influence of MWCNTs on the material mechanical behavior. Pin on disk dry sliding tests are used to quantify the effect of MWCNTs on the friction coefficient and the specific wear rate. It was determined that (1) MWCNTs have an influence on the improvement on both the through-thickness compression strength and the specific wear rate, and (2) they do not influence the material stiffness, in-plane tensile and shear strengths and the friction coefficient. It is assumed that the observed improvements are due to the demonstrated positive influence of the MWCNTs effect on the matrix/reinforcement interfacial strength and on the matrix fracture toughness.
