초록
This paper presents an experimental investigation of the tribological characteristics of PTFE composites filled with nano CuO particles under low sliding speed and load. All the specimens were prepared by sintering. Before sintering, the mixture of PTFE powder and CuO particles were mixed by a high-speed mixer using CuO volume fractions of 0.2 vol. % and 5 vol. %. Each mixture was sintered at 350 °C for 30 min on the steel disk. We conducted ball-on-disk sliding test an hour using a steel ball against PTFE composites, including pure PTFE. The load and sliding speed used was 2 N and 0.01 m/s, respectively. Adding nano CuO particles increases the friction coefficient because of the abrasiveness of hard nano CuO particles. The highest coefficient of frictions was obtained from 5 vol. % CuO. Conversely, the lowest wear of the composites was obtained from the 5 vol. % CuO nanocomposite. This study reveals that the addition of nano CuO particles can lower the wear of PTFE, despite an increase in the coefficient of friction. However, the coefficient friction is still moderate compared to other engineering polymers. In addition, the amount of CuO nano particles has to be optimized to reduce friction and wear at the same time.
