A Study of Tribological Properties of Polyphenylene Sulfide Composities Reinforced with CNT and CNF

Article Preview

Abstract:

The tribological properties of polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) composites reinforced with carbon nanotube (CNT) and carbon nanofiber (CNF) were studied. Sliding tests in a pin-on-disk configuration were used to study the tribological properties. The wear rate of reinforced composites in the early part of sliding was lower than that of PPS but over extended sliding the reinforcement was not effective in reducing the wear rate. The coefficient of friction was not greatly affected by the presence of CNF and CNT. The lack of transition from run-in to steady state wear was attributed to the increased wear rates of PPS composites.
