- Abstract
- The friction and wear of polyamide 6,6 (PA66) nanocomposites containing 1 wt% of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) with different lengths were studied using a block-on-ring tribometer at different sliding velocities. CNT addition was found to increase storage modulus, loss modulus, and thermal conductivity of the composites, suggesting possible influence to their tribological properties. Tribotest results revealed a substantial effect of the length of CHTs and it was more at elevated temperatures. In the sliding tests performed at temperature below 110 degrees C the coefficient of friction (COF) tended to be decreased by CNTs addition, while it was slightly increased as the CNT length increased. However, at temperatures beyond 110 degrees C, the COP increased with the addition of CHTs and increased, even more, with longer CNTs. Wear resistance was also improved by long CNTs, and this improvement was particularly evident at elevated temperatures. TEM investigation of the sliding surface indicated that the improvement of wear resistance and the increased COFs observed at high temperatures could be attributed to the nematic alignment of CNITs along the sliding direction, which was more pronounced with longer CNTs. The marked reinforcing effect of long CNTs was also supported by the morphology of the transfer films and wear debris. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved
