Abstract
Phenolic nanocomposites reinforced by 2D atomic crystal of boron nitride were prepared by compression-molding method. Their sliding friction, wear behaviors and hardness of as[1]prepared nanocomposites were investigated. The wear resistance and hardness of the nanocomposites increased obviously after inclusion of the boron nitride filler; however, the values of friction coefficients of the nanocomposites almost remained unchanged. The optimal loading of the boron nitride in our experiments was 4 wt% and the wear resistance of phenolic resin / 4% boron nitride nanocomposite was five times higher than that of pristine phenolic resin. The surface damage and temperature rise of the sliding surface for both pristine phenolic resin and the nanocomposites were discussed, and the corresponding wear mechanisms were proposed.
