High Performance Polymer Composites: A Role of Transfer Films in Ensuring Tribological Properties—A Review

2022

The purpose of this review is to summarize data on the structure, mechanical and tribological properties, and wear patterns of composites based on high-performance polymers (HPPs) intended for use in friction units. The review includes three key sections, divided according to the tribological contact schemes regardless of the polymer matrix. In the second part, the analysis of composites is carried out in point contacts. The third section is devoted to the results of studies of HPP-based composites in linear ones. The fourth section summarizes information on flat contacts. Particular attention is paid to the formation of transfer films (TFs) in the contacts and their influence on the tribological patterns of the studied rubbing materials. As a conclusion, it is noted that the challenge of experimental methods for analyzing TFs, stated by K. Friedrich, is effectively solved in recent studies by the XPS method, which enables us to accurately determine their composition. Although this determination is completed after the tribological tests, it allows not only a more accurate interpretation of their results considering specific conditions and loading schemes, but also the ability to design HPP-based composites that form required TFs performing their preset functions.

“…Moreover, due to the high viscosity of thermoplastic matrix, a high processing temperature is required to manufacture complex parts without process-induced defects such as imperfect impregnation or wrinkle formation. In particular, for high performance polymers such as polyphenylenesulfide (PPS) which have a high melting point, all the steps of prepreg and final part manufacturing require high temperature for melting, leading to an increase in the number of cross-links, and hence resulting in a more brittle matrix (Chen et al, 2021). This high processing temperature related to the high viscosity and high melting point of thermoplastic melt can be even crucial in the case of natural fibre reinforced composites because natural fibres such as flax and hemp fibres begin to thermally degrade at a temperature range between 170 and 200 °C (Kim and Park, 2017).…”

Reactive Processing of Acrylic-Based Thermoplastic Composites: A Mini-Review

2022

The demand for thermoplastic composites is continuously increasing because these materials offer many advantages over their thermoset counterparts, such as high toughness, long storage time, easy repairing and recycling, and ability to be thermoformed and heat-welded. However, the manufacturing of thermoplastic composite parts using liquid composite moulding techniques (e.g. resin transfer moulding, vacuum assisted resin transfer moulding … ) is often tricky in the case of melt processing where high temperature and pressure should be chosen to impregnate the fibre reinforcement because of the high melt viscosity of thermoplastics. These issues may be overcome by means of reactive processing where a fibrous preform is first impregnated by a low viscosity mono- or oligomeric precursor and the polymerization of the thermoplastic matrix then occurs in-situ. This article draws a state of the art on the manufacturing characteristics of continuous fibre reinforced acrylic-based reactive thermoplastics (e.g. polymethymethacrylate (PMMA) such as Elium®), which are becoming more and more popular compared to other fast curing thermosets and thermoplastics for in-situ polymerization. Techniques for the in-situ polymerization of methymethacrylate monomers, characterization and modelling of the rheological properties and polymerization kinetics, and some manufacturing related issues such as polymerization shrinkage are reviewed. Particular features of the use of reactive PMMA in different manufacturing techniques of continuous fibre reinforced composites and potential industrial applications are also introduced. Finally, some perspectives for the academic research and industrial development are proposed.

“…Because the carbon fillers have much lower density and higher specific strength, researches on PPS/carbon composites have attracted much attention. [ 14 ] However, some carbon materials are more expensive, and they have poor dispersion in polyphenylene sulfide and are easy to agglomerate, which affects the mechanical properties of polyphenylene sulfide.…”

Graphene quantum dots are prepared conveniently and quickly with brown-black humic acid as raw material by green oxidation process. The average size of GQDs is about 12 nm with a lattice spacing of 0.26 nm and GQDs have hydroxyl and carboxyl functional groups on their surface. Moreover, photoluminescence testing shows that GQDs have excellent photoluminescence properties with maximum excitation/emission wavelength at 347/478 nm. Next, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS)/GQDs nanocomposites are prepared by melt blending with GQDs and PPS. Mechanical tests show that the tensile strength and the impact strength of PPS can be greatly improved when the amount of GQDs is 0.5 wt% and tensile strength and the impact strength are increased by 53.38% and 375%, respectively. The nonisothermal crystallization of PPS/GQDs nanocomposites is investigated by differential scanning calorimetry, which shows that GQDs effectively increase the crystallization rate of PPS. The crystallization of PPS/GQDs nanocomposites during cooling are studied by Rheonaut technology analysis. The rheological results show that the storage modulus of PPS/GQDs (0.5 wt%) nanocomposites is increased by about 1.04 times than that of pure PPS, and 2D IR spectrum confirms that GQDs accelerate crystallization of PPS. Rheological studies present that GQDs have good compatibility with PPS.
