Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to prepare an oil-impregnated porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composite with advanced tribological properties using citric acid as a novel pore-forming agent.
Design/methodology/approach
Citric acid (CA) was used to form pores in PTFE, and then oil-impregnated PTFE composites were prepared. The pore-forming efficiency of CA was evaluated. The possible mechanism of lubrication was proposed according to the tribological properties.
Findings
The results show CA is an efficient pore-forming agent and completely removed, and the porosity of the PTFE increases with the increase of the CA content. The oil-impregnated porous PTFE exhibits an excellent tribological performance, an increased wear resistance of 77.29% was realized in comparison with neat PTFE.
Originality/value
This study enhances understanding of the lubrication mechanism of oil-impregnated porous polymers and guides for their tribological applications.
设计/方法/途径采用柠檬酸(CA)在聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)中形成孔隙,然后制备油浸渍聚四氟乙烯(PTFE)复合材料,该复合材料具有先进的摩擦学性能。对 CA 的成孔效率进行了评估。结果表明,CA 是一种高效的孔隙形成剂,可完全去除,且 PTFE 的孔隙率随 CA 含量的增加而增加。该研究加深了人们对油浸多孔聚合物润滑机理的理解,并为其在摩擦学领域的应用提供了指导。
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
