Modification of Graphene and Friction and Wear Property of its Epoxy Resin Matrix Composites

Weisong Sun, Sirong Yu, Menglong Tang, Xian Wang

Abstract


The graphene was modified by silane coupling agent KH560, the epoxy resin was reinforced by the modified graphene
(KH-graphene) to produce KH-graphene/epoxy resin composites, and the effect of KH-graphene content and load on the friction
and wear property of the composites was studied. The results showed that the KH560 was successfully grafted to the surface of
graphene; The KH-graphene decreased the mass loss and friction coefficient of the epoxy resin, and with increasing the KHgraphene content, the mass loss and friction coefficient of KH-graphene/epoxy resin composites both showed a decreasing trend,
and when the load was 150N, KH-graphene content was 0.5%, the mass loss and friction coefficient of composites were reduced
by 44.9% and 17.4%; With increasing the load, the mass loss and friction coefficient of KH-graphene/epoxy resin composites
also showed a decreasing trend; The wear form was mainly fatigue wear under the low load, and KH-graphene could inhibit the
generation and expansion of micro-cracks; After the load increased, the wear form was mainly abrasive wear; After the graphene
added, the wear scar of the worn surface of composites was relatively reduced.
