Abstract

Herein, we studied the combined effect of air-plasma treatment and lubricant filling on the dry sliding wear behavior of hybrid PTFE/Nomex fabric/phenolic composite. In this study, hybrid PTFE/Nomex fabric was firstly treated by air-plasma to improve the fabric-resin adhesion and tribological properties of hybrid PTFE/Nomex fabric/phenolic composite. Subsequently, polyfluo wax was employed as lubricant filler to further improve the anti-wear property of air-plasma treated fabric composite. The results of wear tests showed that polyfluo wax filled air-plasma treated fabric composite exhibited the optimal antiwear property and load-carrying capacity, compared to untreated and air-plasma treated fabric composites. The effects of the air-plasma treatment power and polyfluo wax content on the tribological behaviors of the fabric composites were also investigated.
