Tribological performance of Graphene/Carbon nanotube hybrid reinforced Al2O3 composites
Tribological performance of the hot-pressed pure Al2O3 and its composites containing various hybrid contents of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) were investigated under different loading conditions using the ball-on-disc method. Benchmarked against the pure Al2O3, the composite reinforced with a 0.5 wt% GNP exhibited a 23% reduction in the friction coefficient along wit...
متن کاملMechanical and rheological properties of carbon nanotube-reinforced polyethylene composites
This paper investigates some mechanical and rheological properties of low density polyethylene (LDPE) composites reinforced by multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs). It was found that the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of the composites can increase by 89% and 56%, respectively, when the nanotube loading reaches 10 wt%. The curving and coiling of MWNTs play an important role in the enhanc...
متن کاملBiomechanical Properties of Dispersep Article Reinforced Polymer Composites on Ultrahigh Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) having a low coefficient of friction (CoF), high wearand chemical resistance in harsh environments, is used for fabricating medical products (hip and knee joints, intervertebral discs, plates for maxillofacial surgery, and others). Priority of polymers, in particular UHMWPE to be applied as medical implant materials, is due to their proximity to ...
متن کاملSynthesis and Tribological Behavior of Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)-Lignin Composites
In this paper, we report the synthesis and characterization of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE)-lignin composites. During this study four different compositions, namely UHMWPE, UHMWPE-13 wt. % lignin, UHMWPE-25 wt. % lignin and UHMWPE-42.5 wt. % lignin were fabricated by hot pressing. Detailed microstructural studies by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) showed that UHMWPE and ...
متن کاملThermo-mechanical behaviour of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene-carbon nanotubes composites under different cooling techniques
Ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a unique polymer with outstanding physical and mechanical properties that makes it particularly attractive to fabricate the bearing surface for artificial joints. The growing demand for UHMWPE as a bearing material for joint replacement has lead to active research in the development and understanding of its properties in addition to nanocompos...
