The impacts of graphene dosage on the friction and wear performance of a graphene-reinforced silicone rubber nano composite

Effects of the etching process on the surface, friction and wear characteristics of silicone rubber coated with micro-sized ceramic particles

“…Nevertheless, with escalating temperatures, wear exhibited a decremental trend, with adhesive wear mechanisms underpinning high-temperature silicone rubber wear. In an independent study, 11 the mechanical and tribological properties of graphene-reinforced silicone rubber were assessed. Diverse proportions of graphene fillers were incorporated into silicone rubber formulations.…”

Ionic Liquid/Functionalized Graphene Oxide as a Nano Additive for Corrosion Protection and Lubrication

“…Nanomaterials were expected to be the future direction for lubricant additives owing to their excellent mechanical properties and higher thermal stability than organic additives . Among them, graphene-based materials (monolayer graphene, multilayer graphite, and graphene oxide (GO)), a class of two-dimensional materials with high Young’s moduli and fracture resistance, have a wide range of applications and market-oriented prospects in the field of lubrication. , …”

Influence of surface structure on friction and wear characteristics of silicone rubber for hydraulic rod seals

“…Addressing the friction and wear challenges of silicone rubber, strategies such as incorporation of high-strength nanoparticle llers or microstructuring have been proposed. 20,21 However, the incorporation of llers enhances the mechanical strength of silicone rubber, yet it results in a reduction of the material's inherent elasticity. Furthermore, microstructuring necessitates sophisticated techniques involving photoresists and laser/ etching for mold creation, with potential risks of mold and rubber separation damage during the process.…”
