Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid lubricant materials technology, and more particularly to Cu@Co MOF nanofluids and nanofluid-reinforced blended fabric composites, their preparation and application. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of self-lubricating spherical plain bearings, the tribological properties of self-lubricating fabric liner materials directly determine the performance and service life of the bearings. Self-lubricating fabric liner materials are mainly composed of a blended fabric woven from PTFE fibers and high-performance reinforcing fibers (such as PI fibers) and a resin matrix. The PTFE fibers and high-performance reinforcing fibers provide lubrication and load-bearing functions, respectively. However, under extreme and harsh environments, such as heavy-load and high-speed conditions, the transfer film on the mating surfaces of the fabric liner material cannot withstand high shear stress, leading to rapid detachment and severe wear.

[0003] The common approach to solving the above problems is to introduce nanofiller reinforcing agents into the fabric composite material to effectively control the structure of the liner transfer film and improve the tribological properties of the liner. However, the dispersion of nanofillers has always been a key issue affecting the reinforcing effect of fillers. Solvent-free nanofluids combine the small size of monodisperse particles, surface and interface effects, and the physicochemical properties of shell ionic flexible long-chain molecules, exhibiting stable monodispersity and being an essentially single homogeneous system, fundamentally preventing the aggregation of nanoparticles. However, the influence of nanofluids on the tribological properties of fabric composite materials is closely related to their structure, and developing nanofluids that can significantly improve the tribological properties of fabric composite materials has been a problem that researchers have been working to solve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a Cu@Co MOF nanofluid and a nanofluid-reinforced blended fabric composite material, as well as its preparation and application.

[0012] Preferably, in step (3), the mass ratio of Cu@Co MOF-DC5700 precipitate to polyethylene glycol 4-nonylphenyl 3-sulfopropyl ether potassium salt is 1:10-15; the electrostatic assembly reaction is carried out at a temperature of 60-80°C for 20-30 hours.

[0013] This invention provides Cu@Co MOF nanofluids prepared by the above-described technical solution. The Cu@Co MOF nanofluids include a Cu@Co MOF hybrid core and an inner crown and an outer crown grafted sequentially from the inside to the outside onto the surface of the Cu@Co MOF hybrid core. The Cu@Co MOF hybrid core has a core-shell structure, including a Cu-BTC metal-organic framework compound and a Co-MOF material grown in situ on the surface of the Cu-BTC metal-organic framework compound. The inner crown is dimethyloctadecyl[3-trimethoxysilylpropyl]ammonium chloride, and the outer crown is polyethylene glycol 4-nonylphenyl 3-sulfopropyl ether potassium salt.

[0021] This invention provides a method for preparing Cu@Co MOF nanofluids. The method involves mixing a Cu-BTC metal-organic framework compound, an alcohol solvent, cobalt nitrate, and 2-methylimidazole for a self-assembly reaction to obtain a Cu@Co MOF hybrid. The Cu@Co MOF hybrid, an alcohol-water solvent, and dimethyloctadecyl[3-trimethoxysilylpropyl]ammonium chloride are then mixed for a dehydration condensation reaction to obtain a Cu@Co MOF-DC5700 precipitate. Finally, the Cu@Co MOF-DC5700 precipitate, an alcohol solvent, and polyethylene glycol 4-nonylphenyl-3-sulfopropyl ether potassium salt are mixed for an electrostatic assembly reaction to obtain the Cu@Co MOF nanofluid. This invention first grows Co-MOF material in situ on the surface of a Cu-BTC metal-organic framework compound to construct a Cu@Co MOF hybrid, serving as the core of a nanofluid-like structure. Then, an inner crown, dimethyloctadecyl[3-trimethoxysilylpropyl]ammonium chloride (DC-5700), is covalently grafted onto the surface of the Cu@Co MOF hybrid nanoparticles. Finally, an outer crown, polyethylene glycol 4-nonylphenyl-3-sulfopropyl ether potassium salt (PEGs), is combined with the inner crown via electrostatic adsorption to prepare the Cu@Co MOF nanofluid-like structure. The Cu@Co MOF nanofluid-like structure prepared in this invention exhibits good compatibility with the resin matrix of the blended fabric composite material, thus fully leveraging the synergistic reinforcing effect of Cu-BTC and Co-MOF. The introduction of the inner and outer crowns gives the Cu@Co MOF hybrid a fluid-like morphology, while also improving the quality of the transfer film during subsequent triboelectric transfer. Introducing the Cu@Co MOF nanofluid prepared in this invention as a nano-reinforcing agent into blended fabric composites can form a dense transfer film on the contact surface through electrostatic adsorption, molecular recombination and tribochemical reaction, thereby increasing the strength and extreme pressure resistance of the transfer film and significantly improving the tribological properties of the blended fabric composites.

[0094] Using 45# steel with a diameter of 2mm as the friction pair, the friction and wear performance of self-lubricating bearings prepared using PI / PTFE blended fabric reinforced resin composites from Examples 1-4 and PI / PTFE blended fabric reinforced phenolic resin composites from Comparative Examples 1-2 was tested at room temperature under the following conditions: applied load of 75MPa (240N), friction rotation speed of 0.26m / s, friction time of 120min, and radius of 12.5mm. The results are listed in Table 1. The friction coefficient was automatically output by processing the collected data through a connected computer. The wear depth of the wear-resistant material was measured using a digital height gauge, and the wear volume of the fabric composite was calculated. The wear rate of the wear-resistant material was calculated according to Formula 1.

[0095] K = ΔV / P˙L (Formula 1)

[0096] Where K is the wear rate (m 3 (N˙m) -1 ); ΔV is the wear volume (m³). 3 P is the applied load (N); L is the sliding distance (m); where L = v * t (v is the frictional rotational speed, t is the friction time).

[0097] Table 1. Friction and wear properties of self-lubricating bearings in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0098]

[0099]

[0100] Figure 4 The wear rate and friction coefficient of the self-lubricating bearings in Comparative Example 1, Comparative Example 2 and Example 1 are shown in histograms.

[0101] Combining Table 1 and Figure 4 It can be seen that, compared with Comparative Example 1, the wear rate and friction coefficient of the self-lubricating bearing in Example 1 were reduced by 164% and 66%, respectively. This indicates that the introduction of Cu@Co MOF nanofluid effectively improves the tribological properties of the self-lubricating bearing made of PI / PTFE blended fabric composite material.

[0102] After conducting friction tests on the self-lubricating bearings of Comparative Examples 1, 2, and Example 1 according to the above method, the surface morphology of the worn surfaces was inspected, and scanning electron microscope images were obtained, as shown below. Figure 5 As shown. Figure 5 In the images, (a) is a scanning electron microscope (SEM) image of the worn surface of the self-lubricating bearing in Comparative Example 1; (b) is a SEM image of the worn surface of the self-lubricating bearing in Comparative Example 2; and (c) is a SEM image of the worn surface of the self-lubricating bearing in Example 1. Figure 5 It can be seen that the wear surfaces of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are relatively rough, the resin matrix on the fiber surface is peeled off, and the internal reinforcing fibers are destroyed; while the wear surface of Example 1 is relatively smooth, which further illustrates that the Cu@Co MOF nanofluid-like reinforced PI / PTFE blended phenolic resin matrix composite material provided by the present invention has high tribological properties.

[0103] As can be seen from the above examples, Cu@Co MOF nanofluids exhibit excellent compatibility with the composite resin matrix due to their unique physicochemical properties, thus fully leveraging the reinforcing properties of nanofluids. When Cu@Co MOF nanofluids are introduced into blended fabric composites, a dense transfer film is formed on the contact surface through electrostatic adsorption, molecular recombination, and tribochemical reactions. This increases the strength and extreme pressure resistance of the transfer film, thereby significantly improving the tribological properties of the blended fabric composite. The transfer film on the mating surface was processed using a focused ion beam, and its structure was investigated using transmission electron microscopy. The study shows that the introduction of Cu@Co MOF nanofluids forms FeF2, Fe2O3, FeO (0.266nm, 0.287nm, 0.298nm) and CuO, Cu2O, Co3O4 (0.232nm, 0.246nm, 0.210nm) substances on the mating surface, effectively improving the strength and extreme pressure resistance of the tribochemical transfer film (e.g., ...). Figure 6 As shown, Figure 6 The images shown are transmission electron microscope (TEM) images and high-resolution TEM photographs of the triboelectric surface transfer film of the blended fabric composite material in Example 1. Figure 6 (a), (b), and (c) are transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images, and (d) and (e) are high-resolution TEM images. The numbers in the images represent the lattice fringe spacing, indicating that the tribochemical process generates new substances.
