Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of processing and preparation of wood-based functional materials, and particularly relates to a wood-based friction material with a service life self-monitoring function and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The wear resistance of a material is related to the service life of the material, and thus the wear resistance becomes a key factor for selecting a material as a moving part of a structural material or a functional material. The wear resistance of a material is related to aerospace, national defense and military industry, and even to the movement of vehicles and the wearing of shoes and socks. For the research on the performance of a material, especially for metal-based friction materials, paper-based friction materials, resin-based friction materials and functional self-lubricating wear-resistant materials, the materials are usually consumed quickly during use, and thus a large number of samples need to be repeatedly subjected to wear experiments to estimate the service life of the materials, so as to avoid safety problems. However, it is difficult to timely find and detect the aging of the materials during the specific use of the materials, and thus there are certain safety problems and a large detection cost.

[0003] In order to timely find and detect the aging of a material during use of the material and avoid certain safety problems, it is necessary to develop a friction material capable of realizing functional service life self-monitoring. However, up to now, no friction material can realize functional service life self-monitoring, and the technical achievements in this field are still in short supply.

[0004] Compared with other friction materials, wood-based friction materials are more widely used. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a wood-based friction material capable of realizing functional service life self-monitoring and a preparation method thereof. SUMMARY

[0009] The ratio of the volume of the co-solvent to the mass of the poplar powder is 300 mL:(3.5-4.5 g).

[0010] Step 2: dispersing the filter residue A obtained in step 1 in distilled water I, adding sodium chlorite and acetic acid, and then performing filtration and water washing to obtain filter residue B; dispersing the filter residue B in distilled water II, and then adding phenolphthalein and performing mechanical crushing treatment to obtain a dispersion liquid;

[0011] The volume of the distilled water I, the mass of the sodium chlorite, the volume of the acetic acid, the volume of the distilled water II, and the mass of the phenolphthalein are in the ratio of 300 mL:(4.5-8.5 g):(3.0-6.0 mL):(300-400 mL):(0.45-0.85 g).

[0012] Step 3: adding sodium chloride, solid Tris, and tannic acid to the dispersion liquid, continuously stirring for 2-4 h, and then performing multiple filtration and water washing to obtain filter residue C; dispersing the filter residue C in distilled water III, adding polyvinyl alcohol, and continuously stirring at 100°C for 2-4 h; pouring the mixed liquid into a mold, and then drying at 45°C;

[0014] Step 4: dispersing the filter residue A obtained in step 1 in distilled water, adding sodium hydroxide and polyvinyl alcohol, and continuously stirring at 100°C for 2-4 h to obtain a mixed base liquid; continuously pouring the mixed base liquid into the mold used in step 3, and then drying at 45°C to finally obtain a wood-based friction material.

[0015] The volume of the distilled water, the mass of the sodium hydroxide, and the mass of the polyvinyl alcohol are in the ratio of (300-400 mL):(4.5-8.5 g):(2.25-4.25 g).

[0016] Further, the number of filtration and water washing in step 1 is 3-5 times.

[0017] Further, the stirring time in step 1 is 3-5 h.

[0018] Further, the number of filtration and water washing in step 2 is 3-5 times.

[0021] Further, the drying time in step 4 is 12h.

[0022] A wood-based friction material with a service life self-monitoring function is prepared by the preparation method

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following technical effects:

[0025] The wood-based friction material prepared by the present application has a dense layered structure, and the layered structures are tightly crosslinked, and has the advantages of high toughness, good tensile property, wear resistance, high mechanical strength, strong corrosion resistance, stable chemical property and the like. However, the greatest feature is that it has a service life self-monitoring function, so that when the service life ends, the sodium hydroxide is exposed due to structural damage, reacts with phenolphthalein to turn red, and obvious color change is generated, so that the aging and scrapping of the friction material can be perceived at the first time, and this process can be completed without any external substances, which is fast, convenient and accurate, and the scrapped material can be replaced in time to avoid safety hazards.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] A method for preparing a wood-based friction material with a life self-monitoring function, comprising the following steps:

[0051] Step 1: 300 mL of co-solvent and 4.5 g of poplar powder were mixed and continuously heated and stirred at 120°C for 5 hours, and then filtered and washed with water for 5 times to obtain filter residue A;

[0052] Step 2: The filter residue A obtained in step 1 was dispersed in 300 ml of distilled water, 8.5 g of sodium chlorite and 6.0 ml of acetic acid were added, and after continuous heating and stirring at 110°C, filtration and water washing were performed to obtain filter residue B. The filter residue B obtained was dispersed in 400 ml of distilled water, 0.85 g of phenolphthalein was added, and mechanical crushing treatment was performed for 80 min to obtain a dispersion liquid;

[0053] Step 3: 400 mL of the dispersion liquid treated by the method of step 2 was taken and 8.5 g of sodium chloride, 4.25 g of solid Tris and 8.5 g of tannic acid were added thereto, and after stirring, filtration and water washing were performed for 5 times to obtain filter residue C. The filter residue C was dispersed in 400 ml of distilled water, 4.25 g of polyvinyl alcohol was added, and stirring was performed at 100°C for 4 hours. The mixture was cast in a mold, and dried at 45°C for 4 hours;

[0054] Step 4: The filter residue obtained in step 1 was dispersed in 400 ml of distilled water, 8.5 g of sodium hydroxide and 4.25 g of polyvinyl alcohol were added, and stirring was performed at 100°C for 4 hours.

[0055] Figure 1 Figure 1 is a SEM morphology diagram of the wood-based friction material prepared, from which it can be seen that it presents a dense layered structure, and the polyvinyl alcohol is crosslinked therein, greatly improving the mechanical properties of the composite film material and promoting the load transfer between the lamellas. Figure 1

[0056] Figure 2 Figure 2 is an XRD pattern of the lignocellulose (filter residue A obtained in step 1), and esterified nanocellulose, and natural poplar in Example 1. The lignocellulose shows the presence of diffraction peaks similar to natural poplar, indicating the crystal structure of cellulose. Compared with wood, the intensity of the characteristic peaks of esterified nanocellulose and lignocellulose is reduced at 2θ = 15.3°, 20.9°, 22.9°, which is due to the decrease in detection depth caused by structure densification. In addition, hemicellulose and amorphous cellulose are dissolved and removed during the solvent treatment. The crystallinity of esterified nanocellulose and lignocellulose is basically the same, but it is lower than that of natural poplar, indicating that the crystallinity of cellulose after DES co-solvent treatment is reduced. In addition, the peaks of esterified nanocellulose and lignocellulose at 15.3° and 20.9° disappear after delignification treatment. These peaks can be attributed to the residual DES in lignin during the solvation process.

[0057] Figure 3 ​Zeta potential of natural poplar (-10.3 mV), cellulose extracted in Example 1 (dispersion obtained after dispersion of the residue A from step 1 in water in step 2) (-33.7 mV) and lignocellulose (residue A from step 1) (-34.2 mV). These negatively charged functional groups come from carbonyl and Hiebert ketone in cellulose, which give excellent dispersion stability to cellulose through mutual repulsion of charges. In NCF slurry, esterification of hydroxyl groups in cellulose carries more negative charges, resulting in lower zeta potential, which further proves that its excellent dispersion stability is related to the DES solvation process.

[0058] Figure 4 is the friction coefficient curve obtained at a sliding speed of 200 rpm and different loads (1, 3, 5 N). At a load of 5 N, the friction coefficient curve is stable and has little change.

[0059] Figure 5 is the average friction coefficient-abraded width summary chart of the friction and wear experiment. At a speed of 200 rpm, the minimum average friction coefficient is 0.065 at 1 N, and the average friction coefficients at 3 N and 5 N are 0.1521 and 0.1842, respectively. The abraded widths at 1 N, 3 N and 5 N are 234 μm, 273 μm and 396 μm, respectively, which indicates that the prepared wood-based friction material has a large surface hardness and also indicates its high wear resistance.

[0060] Although the content of the present application has been described in detail in the above examples, it should be recognized that the above description should not be considered as a limitation of the present application.
