Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of mechanical friction, and particularly to a multiphase composite friction system with a cross-wetting state and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In moving parts, the friction phenomenon is ubiquitous. Beneficial friction needs to be increased, while harmful friction needs to be reduced. The mechanical friction and biomedical lubrication failure phenomena widely existing in the fields of mechanical engineering and biomedicine have caused many harms to human daily life and industrial activities. Research shows that about one-third of the energy in the industrial field needs to be consumed to overcome the frictional resistance in relative motion, which not only causes a large amount of energy loss, but also limits the optimization of energy utilization efficiency. In addition, the frictional interaction continuously causes wear on the moving components, thereby significantly shortening the service life of equipment, tissues, etc., increasing additional capital costs and causing waste of resources. Therefore, from the perspective of economic and environmental sustainable development, reducing the frictional interaction at the relative motion interface and reducing the occurrence of wear phenomena have important research value.

[0003] Special wettability interfaces have adjustable interface wetting and spreading processes and boundary slip phenomena, which can reduce the liquid contact hysteresis force and the viscous resistance of the lubricating medium, thereby effectively reducing the friction coefficient. For example: Patent CN112575320A discloses a method for obtaining a superoleophobic and wear-resistant coating by dip-coating a rough metal surface with a fluorosilane solution; Patent CN113861828A discloses a method for preparing a KM-SiO2@PDA@MoS2 wear-resistant superhydrophobic coating using slag.

[0004] The above special wettability interfaces are mainly based on the solid-solid friction system of superhydrophobic interfaces, and their dynamic stability is poor. How to further achieve an ultra-low friction coefficient and how to continue to maintain a low friction coefficient when the superhydrophobic interface loses its superhydrophobic performance are still major challenges. Summary of the Invention

[0028] The present invention provides a multiphase composite friction system with a cross-wetting state, including a friction substrate, a friction counterpart, and a liquid lubricating medium located in the interfacial gap between the friction substrate and the friction counterpart; the friction substrate has a superhydrophobic surface, and the contact angle of the superhydrophobic surface with respect to the liquid lubricating medium is ≥150°; the friction counterpart has a hydrogel superhydrophilic surface, and the contact angle of the hydrogel superhydrophilic surface with respect to the liquid lubricating medium is ≤20°.

There is superhydrophobic infiltration between the superhydrophobic surface and the liquid lubricating medium, and superhydrophilic infiltration between the hydrogel superhydrophilic surface and the liquid lubricating medium. In the presence of the composite of superhydrophobic infiltration and superhydrophilic infiltration, an air cushion will be formed between the superhydrophobic surface and the liquid lubricating medium, which can effectively reduce the solid-liquid contact fraction and replace the solid-liquid interface interaction with an ultra-low gas-liquid interface interaction, effectively reducing the friction coefficient. At the same time, when the contact stress reaches the Cassie limit of the superhydrophobic surface, after the wetting state changes from the Cassie state to the Wenzel state, under the action of shear force, the free water layer between the interfaces of the superhydrophobic surface is squeezed and repelled and extruded, and the hydrogel soft matter component loaded by the friction counterpart fills into the rough structure of the friction substrate to act as a lubricating layer, thereby continuing to maintain a low friction coefficient.

[0029] In summary, for the multiphase composite friction system provided by the present invention, when in the Cassie state, due to the existence of the air layer, ultra-low friction can be achieved, and in the Wenzel state, the hydrogel soft matter loaded by the friction counterpart can also fill into the rough structure of the friction substrate, thereby continuing to maintain a low friction state. Based on this, the construction of an ultra-low friction-low friction system under different wetting states can be realized.

[0030] The results of the examples show that the multiphase composite friction system provided by the present invention has excellent friction reduction and wear resistance effects and good dynamic stability. Under the Cassie and Wenzel states of the superhydrophobic substrate, its friction coefficient is as low as 0.002 - 0.1, and the friction coefficient can be maintained for 9200 s.

[0070] Figure 1 FIG. is a schematic diagram of the multiphase composite friction system provided by the present invention in the Cassie state and the Wenzel state. The following combines Figure 1 The multiphase composite friction system of the present invention will be described: The friction substrate of the present invention has dynamic mechanical stability and a superhydrophobic surface. The friction counterface has a superhydrophilic surface with a stable hydration layer formed. There is superhydrophobic wettability between the superhydrophobic surface and the liquid lubricating medium, and superhydrophilic wettability between the hydrogel superhydrophilic surface and the liquid lubricating medium. In the presence of the composite of superhydrophobic wettability and superhydrophilic wettability, an air layer will be formed between the superhydrophobic surface and the liquid lubricating medium. Due to the existence of the air layer, ultra-low friction can be achieved, and this is the Cassie state at this time; when the contact stress reaches the Cassie limit of the superhydrophobic surface, the wetting state changes from the Cassie state to the Wenzel state. Under the action of shear force, the hydrogel soft matter loaded by the friction counterface fills into the rough structure of the friction substrate, so as to continue to maintain a low friction state. Based on this, the construction of an ultra-low friction-low friction system under different wetting states can be realized.

[0071] The present invention also provides a construction method of the multiphase composite friction system with cross-wetting states described in the above solution, including the following steps:

[0072] The superhydrophobic surface of the friction substrate and the hydrogel superhydrophilic surface of the friction counterface are arranged opposite to each other, and a liquid lubricant is injected into the interface gap between the superhydrophobic surface and the hydrogel superhydrophilic surface;

[0073] A contact load is applied to the friction counterface to make the friction counterface and the friction substrate move relative to each other.

[0074] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, it is preferably that the superhydrophobic surface of the friction substrate faces upward, the friction counterface is fixed above the friction substrate, and the superhydrophilic surface faces downward, and both the friction substrate and the friction counterface are in a horizontal state, and then a liquid lubricating medium is injected into the interface gap.

[0075] In the present invention, the contact load is preferably 0.05 to 20 N, and the friction coefficient of the multiphase composite friction system is preferably 0.004 to 0.124.

[0076] Next, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
