Polymeric Nanocomposites for Tribological Applications
Polymer nanocomposites operate in applications where fluid and grease lubricants fail, and have superior tribological performance to traditional polymer composites. Nanoparticle fillers have been a part of notable reductions in the wear rate of the polymer matrix at very low loadings. Despite instances of remarkable wear reductions at unprecedented loadings (3 000 times at 0.5% loading in one c...
متن کاملTribological 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 کاملModified graphene/polyimide nanocomposites: reinforcing and tribological effects.
By taking advantage of design and construction of strong graphene-matrix interfaces, we have prepared modified graphene/polyimide (MG/PI) nanocomposites via a two-stage process consisting of (a) surface modification of graphene and (b) in situ polymerization. The 2 wt % MG/PI nanocomposites exhibited a 20-fold increase in wear resistance and a 12% reduction in friction coefficient, constituting...
متن کاملCustom-made total joint prostheses for temporomandibular joint reconstruction.
BUMC PROCEEDINGS 2000;13:135–138 Jaw joint (temporomandibular joint or TMJ) disease is estimated to affect 30 million Americans, with approximately 1 million new patients diagnosed each year (1). Although many of these patients can be managed with nonsurgical therapies, some patients require surgical intervention. The TMJ is a unique joint in that it does not function independently but works in...
