“…CNTs have a better adhesion due to their high aspect ratio. However, graphite pieces are easily extracted as they have a layered planar structure [50,51]. The functionalization of CNTs with amine groups enhances the interaction between CNTs and the epoxy matrix [52], which improves the mechanical properties and the wear resistance of the obtained composite.…”

“…Hence, CNTs may play the role of spacers preventing close contact between the steel ball and the nano-composites. In fact, CNTs will be shortened first and then flatten to form a graphene-like lamella, which decreases the wear loss and causes the decrease of the friction coefficient [51] (Fig. 10).…”

“…To solve this dispersion problem, many solutions [32][33][34] have been suggested, like the addition of dispersing agents [35], shear mixing [36], and functionalization [37]. The last solution is one of the most efficient methods, which improves compatibility between CNTs and the polymer matrix.…”

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.

AbstractThe erosive wear behaviour of epoxy composites reinforced with aligned, as-produced carbon nanotube (CNT) films was investigated. The CNT film composites were fabricated in two different configurations, where the unidirectional (0°) and bi-directional (0°/90°) aligned CNT films were exposed to the particle stream. Results have shown that the unidirectional (0°) CNT film/epoxy composite exhibit superior erosive wear resistance compared to the unidirectional (0°) carbon fibre reinforced epoxy composite.Furthermore, the bi-directional (0°/90°) CNT film/epoxy composite shows even better resistance to erosion compared to the unidirectional (0°) CNT film/epoxy composite due to additional impact energy absorption resulted from CNT networks. Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) provides further insight into the erosive wear mechanisms of CNT film composites at different impingement angles. This work has successfully introduced aligned as-produced CNT films fabricating epoxy composites using

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have solid lubricity due to their unique structure and as such, CNT composites are also expected to exhibit superior tribological properties. In this study, Co/CNT composite films were fabricated using a composite electrodeposition technique and their tribological properties were investigated. Three different sizes of multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were used as CNTs. The microstructures of the composite films were examined using scanning electron microscopy. Frictional and wear properties were examined using a ball-on-disk method without any lubricants at room temperature and at high temperatures (100-500 °C). The Co/MWCNT composite films had lower coefficients of friction than a cobalt film at room temperature. In contrast, the coefficients of friction of the Co/MWCNT composite film at high temperature became higher than that at room temperature and slightly lower than that of a cobalt film.
