Mechanical and wear properties of polyetheretherketone composites filled with basalt fibres
Source abstract
Abstract
Abstract Polymers are widely used as replacements for machined metal components in engineering applications. To withstand extreme contact conditions, reinforcing materials are often introduced into polymers to improve their mechanical and wear properties. This paper investigates the applicability of basalt fibres as reinforcing materials to enhance the mechanical and wear properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK). The weight percentage of short basalt fibres in PEEK composites was 0-10% based on the injection moulding method. The mechanical properties and tribological behaviours of the resulting composites were investigated. The results showed that the composites filled with basalt fibres exhibit significant improvements in strength, anti-indentation creep and hardness. Meanwhile, the friction coefficient and wear rate of the composites decreased obviously due to basalt fibres on the top of the worn surface bearing the dynamic load under sliding. The morphology of the worn surface indicates that fibre pull-out and fibre breakage both contribute to energy dissipation. However, the mechanical properties of the composites did not increase linearly with increasing fibre content because of the decreasing bonding force between the fibres and the matrix. These results are significant for the application of PEEK in engineering.
