Phenolic-resin composites have attractive properties for applications in various fields from the wood and adhesive industry to the automotive, aeronautics and aerospace industries. The paper presents the obtaining of SiC-nanofilled phenolic-resin-based composites reinforced with a bidimensional fabric. Different contents of nanometric silicon carbide (0.5, 1 and 2) % mass fractions) were dispersed into the phenolic-resin matrix, using the ultrasonication method, to ensure the optimum dispersion. Several layers of the bidimensional fabric were impregnated with the obtained mixtures and the final laminated composites were obtained using high-temperature pressing, followed by a multistage temperature program. The obtained laminated nanocomposites were characterized with FTIR spectroscopy and evaluated in terms of mechanical and tribological properties. After mechanical testing, fracture cross-sections were characterized with SEM and optical microscopy. The results highlight the positive effect of the nanometric silicon-carbide addition to the phenolic-resin matrix of the laminated composites, in terms of mechanical and tribological performance, improving their strength, stiffness and abrasive properties. Keywords: laminated composites, tensile strength, flexural strength, nanometric silicon carbide, nanocomposites, friction coefficient Kompoziti fenolnih smol imajo mo`nosti raznovrstne uporabe na razli~nih podro~jih, tako na podro~ju lesne industrije, v industriji lepil, kot v avtomobilski in letalski industriji. Prispevek predstavlja pridobitev SiC fenolnih kompozitov na osnovi smole, oja~anih z bidimenzionalnimi vlakni. Razli~ne vsebine nanosilicijevega karbida (0,5, 1 in 2) % masnega odstotka, so bile razpr{ene z uporabo ultrazvo~ne metode v matrici, pridobljeni s smolo, da je bila zagotovljena optimalna disperzija. Ve~plasti bidimenzionalnih vlaken je bilo impregniranih s pridobljenimi me{anicami in kon~ni laminirani kompoziti so bili pridobljeni z visokotemperaturnim tla~nim pritiskanjem, kateremu je sledil ve~stopenjski temperaturni program. Pridobljeni laminirani kompoziti so bili preu~evani s FTIR-spektroskopijo in ovrednoteni glede na mehanske in tribolo{ke lastnosti. Presek zloma po mehanskem testiranju je bil preu~evan s SEM-mikroskopijo in opti~no mikroskopijo. Rezultati ka`ejo pozitiven u~inek dodatka nanometri~nih silicijevih karbidov, s smolo pridobljenih matric v ve~plastnih kompozitih, zaradi njihovih mehanskih in tribolo{kih lastnosti, in ker se tako izbolj{a mo~, togost in abrazivne lastnosti.

“…One of the traditional concepts to improve the friction and wear behaviour of polymeric materials is to enhance their hardness, stiffness and their compressive strength and to reduce adhesion to the counterpart material [6][7][8][9]. Many investigations have shown that the incorporation of fiber reinforcement improved the wear resistance and reduced the coefficient of friction [10]. Mody et al [11] in their investigation showed the simultaneous existence of parallel and perpendicular oriented carbon fibers in a woven configuration leads to a synergic effect on the enhancement of the wear resistance of composite.…”

The three-body abrasive wear behaviour of carbon fabric reinforced epoxy (C-E) composites has been evaluated by the addition of graphite (G) particles as a secondary reinforcement. Three-body abrasive wear test were conducted using dry sand rubber wheel abrasion tester as per ASTM G-65 with three process parameters load, abrading distance and filler content. To assess the abrasive wear behaviour of particulate filled C-E composites satisfying multiple performance measure, grey-based Taguchi approach has been adopted. The experiments were designed according to Taguchi's orthogonal array (L 27 ). The grey relational analysis was applied to convert a multi response process optimization to a single response. Using analysis of variance, significant contributions of process parameters have been determined. The results indicate that the addition of graphite particles into C-E composite increased the wear resistance considerably. It was observed that highest wear resistance of C-E composite was achieved with incorporation of 10 wt% of graphite filler. Results indicate that the filler content and grit size of abrasive paper were found to be the most significant factor which has influence on the abrasive wear of C-E composite. The worn surface features were examined through scanning electron microscope to probe the wear mechanism.

“…Carbon fiber is one of the conventional filler materials to improve the mechanical strength and wear resistance of PTFE 1) . Lancaster 1) studied the mechanism of wear reduction in polymers for carbon fiber reinforcement and proposed two factors. Firstly, the fibers were exposed at the sliding surface and supported part of the applied load; secondly, the fibers smoothed the surface of the counter face and thus reduced the localized stresses at the asperity contact.…”

Effect of Size of Carbon Fiber on the Wear of PTFE Composites and Aluminum Alloy Counter Face

PTFE was reinforced with PAN-based, Pitch-based (carbonized and graphitized) carbon fibers and vapor-grown carbon fibers and their tribological properties were examined. Aluminum alloy was used as the counter face material. The wear rate of PTFE was only reduced by the vapor-grown carbon fiber and the composite filled with the vapor-grown carbon fiber caused minimum wear amount of the aluminum alloy counter face. Aluminum alloy was easily abraded by the carbon fibers other than vapor-grown carbon fibers, and then the abraded rough surface promoted the wear of PTFE composites. There was a correlation between the abrasiveness of carbon fiber and the cylindrical surface area of carbon fiber.
