“…According to the rule of mixture, modulus is an additive property, which means that it should be increased with the increase in volume of fiber [31,32] CF was used to transfer the stress towards matrix properly [33][34][35] . This increase in strength was due to the excellent strength properties of CF in transverse direction, apt placement of fiber and matrix and integral curing and adhesion of layers of CF with HDPE matrix [36] .…”

“…Self-lubrication is the ability of material to transfer embedded solid lubricants [57,58], such as graphite [44, to the contact surface to decrease wear rate and COF in the absence of an external lubricant [2, 67,69,81]. Aluminum reinforced with carbonous materials, such as graphite, is known as a selflubricating aluminum matrix composite.…”

Aluminum/graphite (Al/Gr) composites have been used as self-lubricating materials due to the superior lubricating effect of graphite during sliding. This paper summarizes various tribological aspects of self-lubricating aluminum composites. The influence of various factors such as (a) material factors, graphite size and volume fraction, and (b) mechanical factors, applied load and sliding speed on the tribological properties of self-lubricating aluminum composites, is discussed. Furthermore, the tribological properties of selflubricating composites as a function of these parameters and the active wear mechanism involved in various systems are discussed. Bringing self-lubricating composites into different operating systems is a solution to reduce the use of external toxic petroleum-based lubricants in sliding contacts in a way to help the environment and reduce energy dissipation in industrial components for strategies toward sustainability and energy efficiency.

“…It can be seen that the incorporation of CF remarkably decreases the wear rate at all testing temperatures, and generally the higher the CF content, the better wear resistance. As a reinforcing phase with high strength and shear modulus, the CF exposed on the worn surface can greatly improve the wear resistance of polymer matrix by carrying the load applied on the sliding surface to avoid the direct contact between polymer matrix and steel counterpart . More importantly, as the CF content is a fixed value, the enhanced extent of wear resistance at high temperatures is obviously greater than that at low temperatures.…”

Carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic polyimide composites were prepared, and the mechanical properties and tribological behaviors at various sliding conditions were systematically investigated. The results showed that the incorporation of carbon fiber not only improves the flexural and tensile properties of polyimide but also greatly promotes the dynamic mechanical properties. Meanwhile, the introduction of carbon fiber greatly enhances the antifriction performance and wear resistance of polyimide at elevated temperatures. Notably, at high temperatures of 180 and 260°C, the composite containing 20vol% carbon fiber exhibits the lowest friction coefficients of 0.054 and 0.1 respectively, accompanied with the lowest wear rates. Moreover, the influence of applied load and sliding speed was also investigated at various temperatures. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and optical analysis indicate that some lubricating films can be formed on the contact surfaces at high temperatures due to the softening of contact surface and the graphitization of carbon fiber, and the wear mechanism is dominant by adhesive wear.
