Abstract

Graphene has demonstrated significant potential in the fields of lubrication and wear resistance, owing to its unique structure and exceptional properties. However, the tendency of graphene sheets to agglomerate limits its broader application. Herein, we report a novel multilayer graphene sheet modified diatomite (DE) microcapsule (Graphene@DE). After further surface modification (Graphene@DE-F), the microcapsules can significantly improve tribological and mechanical properties. Tribological tests showed that uniformly dispersed Graphene@DE-F microcapsules have significant anti-friction and anti-wear performance. Specifically, the coefficient of friction (COF) decreased by 86.4 %, wear rate decreased by 64.7 %, mass loss decreased by 42.2 % and thickness loss decreased by 30.7 %. Furthermore, the tensile properties and basic mechanical properties were also improved. The elastic modulus increased by 5.3 %, tensile strength increased by 7.3 %, Young's modulus increased by 13.6 %, and hardness increased by 41.7 %.

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.
