Abstract
This study employed a high-speed rotating crushing process to modify pyrolyzed carbon black (CBp) using self-lubricating and low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The effects of PTFE content on the dispersion, mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability of modified PTFE-CBp/natural rubber (NR) composites were investigated. The rotating crushing process from the high-speed grinder altered the physical structure of PTFE, forming tiny fibrous structures that interspersed among the CBp particles. This arrangement encouraged the alignment of CBp particles in specific directions and improved the surface activity of CBp, enhancing the dispersion of CBp within the NR matrix and consequently improving wear resistance. The experimental results indicated that as the amount of PTFE fibers increased, the hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability of the PTFE-CBp/NR composite significantly improved. Compared to untreated CBp/NR composites, the hardness, modulus at 300%, and wear resistance of the 3 phr PTFE-CBp/NR composites increased by 20%, 24%, 21%, respectively, achieving the preparation of highly wear-resistant CBp/NR composites.
期刊介绍:
Polymers (ISSN 2073-4360) is an international, open access journal of polymer science. It publishes research papers, short communications and review papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Polymers provides an interdisciplinary forum for publishing papers which advance the fields of (i) polymerization methods, (ii) theory, simulation, and modeling, (iii) understanding of new physical phenomena, (iv) advances in characterization techniques, and (v) harnessing of self-assembly and biological strategies for producing complex multifunctional structures.
