▎ 摘 要
Polyamide 46 (PA46) is used in various automotive parts because of its excellent heat resistance and mechanical properties. This study aims to improve the frictional properties of PA46 using the lubricating ability of graphene. Nanocomposites are prepared via two mixing methods: Graphene powder is compounded directly with PA46 pellets through a twin-screw extruder, or PA46 powder is added to graphene dispersion for self-adsorption, and subsequently, it is dried and compounded with PA46 through the twin-screw extruder. Application of the nanocomposite in the friction field is evaluated via the pin-on-disk method. The coefficient of friction of the nanocomposite prepared by self-adsorption is lower than that of the nanocomposite prepared by direct compounding. The mechanical properties of the nanocomposite fabricated by self-adsorption are superior to those of other materials. This can be attributed to the uniform dispersion of graphene and the strong attractive force between the PA46 matrix and graphene.
