Abstract:
Different processes of alkali treatment were applied for bamboo fibers to prepare bamboo fiber reinforced resin matrix composite specimens by hot pressing. The tribological performance of the composites was tested and the surface morphologies of bamboo fibers and worn composite samples were observed. The results show that proper alkali treatment of bamboo fiber can effectively improve the friction coefficient and stability of the reinforced resin matrix friction materials. When the NaOH mass concentration is 200 g/L and treating time is 48 h, the sample has good tribological performance. Compared with the untreated sample, the average friction factor of the treated samples increases from 0.21 to 0.26, the total volume wear rate decreases from 2.57×10-7cm3·N-1·m-1 to 1.18×10-7cm3 ·N-1·m-1, and the deviation of friction factor maintains as low as 0.08. After treaed by alkali, the different basic structure units in lignin of bamboo fiber are decomposed in different degrees, the fiber surface becomes rough and the fiber bundles are spitted into smaller fibers which orientation is more close to the axial. As a result, the interface bonding capacity of bamboo fiber and resin matrix are improved. At the same time, the alkali treatment makes bamboo fiber supporting resin matrix and fillers better at elevated temperature, so thermal recession of composite materials is mitigated and the tribological performance is improved.
