Study on the friction and wear properties of carbon fabric composites reinforced with micro- and nano-particles

Surface designing of carbon fabric polymer composites with nano and micron sized PTFE particles

“…A lot is reported on the nano-composites for tribological exploitation; however, no literature is available on inclusion of nanoparticles (NPs) or SLs for surface tailoring which could be very wise solution for engineering of the composite surfaces [4][5][6].…”

Mechanical and wet tribological properties of carbon fabric/phenolic composites with different weave filaments counts

“…In order to obtain the relatively high and stable friction coefficient, low wear and excellent mechanical properties, a significant amount of researches have been performed, such as carbon fiber surface treatment [11], phenolic content [5], micro-or nano-particles modification [12], fabrication process [13] and weave of carbon fabric [14].…”

Tribological and mechanical properties of Nomex fabric composites filled with polyfluo 150 wax and nano-SiO2

“…Unfortunately, few studied have been reported on the friction and wears behaviors of the fabric composites [11][12][13][14], especially the tribological study of Nomex fabric composites.…”

“…However the study on the friction and wear properties of Nomex fabric composites reinforced with solid lubricants and nano-particles has not been reported in any journal. PFW (polyfluo 150 wax), the special mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene, have the good potential as lubricant material because of its low surface energy [12]. Owing to its specific properties such as high surface activity and energy and small size effect, the inorganic nano-particles filled with fabric composites is of significance to improve their tribological and mechanical properties [13,12].…”
