Abstract

In this study, different MXene/Ag hybrids were synthesized via an in-situ reduction method, followed by a “one-pot” strategy to design hydroxyl-terminated hyperbranched polysiloxane (HBPSi-OH) as a “bridging” structure to enhance the compatibility between MXene/Ag and epoxy resin (EP), forming the HMA/EP composite. Benefiting from the rigidity-flexibility synergistic effect between MXene/Ag and HBPSi-OH, 0.6 wt% HMA-2/EP composite exhibited the highest impact strength (35.3 kJ/m²) and flexural strength (146.3 MPa). Meanwhile, its average coefficient of friction (COF) and volume wear rate were significantly reduced by 32.8 % and 96.0 %, respectively, compared to pure EP resin. This work offers valuable insights for advancing high-performance polymer composites in the field of tribology.

期刊介绍： Tribology is the science of rubbing surfaces and contributes to every facet of our everyday life, from live cell friction to engine lubrication and seismology. As such tribology is truly multidisciplinary and this extraordinary breadth of scientific interest is reflected in the scope of Tribology International. Tribology International seeks to publish original research papers of the highest scientific quality to provide an archival resource for scientists from all backgrounds. Written contributions are invited reporting experimental and modelling studies both in established areas of tribology and emerging fields. Scientific topics include the physics or chemistry of tribo-surfaces, bio-tribology, surface engineering and materials, contact mechanics, nano-tribology, lubricants and hydrodynamic lubrication.
