Abstract:
In order to improve the anti-friction and anti-wear properties of glass fiber/epoxy (GF/EP) composites, flexible MoO
3 nanobelt-oxide carbon nanotubes film (
m-MoO
3-OCNTs) was prepared by the modified vacuum filtration technique, and
m-MoO
3-OCNTs modified GF/EP (
m-MoO
3-OCNTs-(GF/EP)) composites were prepared by vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process. The results show that
m-MoO
3-OCNTs can significantly improve the thermal conductivity and self-lubricating properties of the GF/EP composite. Under the dry friction test conditions, a high-quality continuous transfer film can be formed between the
m-MoO
3-OCNTs-(GF/EP) composites and the dual surface, which can effectively transfer the friction heat. Compared with the pure GF/EP composite, the friction and wear resistance of
m-MoO
3-OCNTs-(GF/EP) composite is improved by about 4 times.
