“…Chen et al12, 13 studied the wear behavior of short‐fiber‐reinforced polymer and found that the self‐lubricating thin film that forms on the contact surface during the wearing process played a dominate role in suppressing transverse cracks. Uchiyama et al7, 8 showed that fiber orientation had an obvious effect on the wear property of a short‐fiber‐reinforced rubber composite.…”

Zinc oxide whisker with a tetrapod shape was treated with a coupling agent using an orthogonal design and was mixed into the substrate of natural rubber to obtain the composites. The results of the experimental tests show that the tensile strength of the composites progressively increases with an increased amount of the related whisker. The experiments also indicate that the rubber reinforced by the tetrapod-shaped ZnO whisker is distinct isotropy. The wear tests demonstrate that the composites containing ZnO whisker appear to have good wear-resistance behavior.

This chapter reviews the use of engineering polymers and short-fibre reinforced thermoplastics for machine elements such as gears, cams and pulleys where the polymers are in non-conformal contact. Both twin-disc testing and gear tests are examined for a variety of engineering polymers as well as the effects of temperature, fibrereinforcement and geometry on performance. Gear efficiency, failure mechanisms and wear of polymer gears are also covered in detail. Finally polymer gears for high-performance applications are considered together with the effects of external lubrication.

“…Therefore, it is suggested that this observed lubrication behaviour of the MWCNT/PEEK composites was yielded from materials in contact and may be called as self-lubricating. With such behaviour, the contact surfaces of composites could be protected significantly and the friction coefficient was reduced obviously [27]. It is well known that carbon is a kind of lubricant.…”

Liu, The surface modifications of multi-walled carbon nanotubes for multi-walled carbon nanotube/poly (ether ether ketone) composites, Applied Surface Science (2015), http://dx.Abstract The effects of surface modifications of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the morphology, dynamic mechanical and tribological properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube/poly (ether ether ketone) (MWCNT/PEEK) composites have been investigated. MWCNTs were treated with mixed acids to obtain acid-functionalized MWCNTs. Then the acid-functionalized MWCNTs were modified with ethanolamine (named e-MWCNTs). The MWCNT/PEEK composites were prepared by a solution-blending method. A more homogeneous distribution of e-MWCNTs within the composites was found with scanning electron microscopy. Dynamic mechanical analysis demonstrated a clear increase in the storage modulus of e-MWCNT/PEEK composites because of the improved interfacial adhesion strength between e-MWCNTs and PEEK. Furthermore, the presence of e-MWCNTs caused an A c c e p t e d M a n u s c r i p t 2 enhancement in the glass transition temperature of the composites. Wear tests have shown that the friction coefficient of e-MWCNT/PEEK composites decreased significantly during the test after the running-in period. This suggests that there is an obvious improvement in tribological properties of e-MWCNT/PEEK composites. Overall, the e-MWCNT/PEEK composites have exhibited improved properties and are promising for their applications in industry.
