Tribological Properties of Graphene-based Fe3O4 Nanocomposite Materials

doi:10.15541/jim20140189

Abstract

Abstract:

Graphene-based Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite materials were prepared by the melthod of Liquid-phase Ultrasonic Exfoliation. Morphologies of nanocomposite materials were characterized by means of SEM and TEM. Its tribological properties as a pure water additive were investigated using multi-functional reciprocating friction and wear tester. The lubrication mechanism was discussed based on results of analyses of SEM, XPS. The results showed that the Fe₃O₄nanoparticles with size of 20-90 nm were densely and randomly deposited on interlamination and surface of graphene sheets. The nanocomposite materials as a pure water additive displayed good friction-reducing and antiwear performance. Compared with pure water, the graphene-based Fe₃O₄ nanocomposite could reduce the friction coefficient of 26.7% and the wear mass of 35.4% under condition of 10 N of load and 0.01wt% of concentration. The prosperity was attributed to the effect of adsorption membrane and boundary lubrication film containing graphene and Fe₃O₄ which inhibited oxidation of Fe and reduce wear on the frictional surface.
