Then the wear of the composite material is tested. During the heating process, the testing machine is stopped, but the composite material does not detach from the friction surface.

[0056] Example 1 (1) Pre-weaving process treatment Meta-aramid fibers were twisted at 400 r / min and a twist of 145 S / m before sizing to obtain pretreated meta-aramid fibers. The sizing conditions were as follows: sizing speed 200 m / min, sizing bath temperature 60℃, pre-drying temperature 70℃, and drying temperature 85℃.

[0059] (2) Weave according to the established organizational structure Pretreated meta-aramid and pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene fibers were woven using a fabric weave structure with a weave cycle number R=3 to obtain a greige fabric.

W The value is 83, and the mass per unit area is 295 g / m². 2 The mass content of aramid in the middle of the fabric is 49%.

[0060] (3) Surface treatment to obtain self-lubricating fabric greige. The fabric was desized in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with pH=8~10 and 80~95℃ for 60 min, then modified by immersing in a 0.02mol / L dopamine aqueous solution (pH=8.5) for 4 h, dried at 80℃, and then modified by immersing in a 2wt% KH550-ethanol-water mixed solution (ethanol:water volume ratio=1:4) for 1 h, and dried at 90℃ to obtain a self-lubricating fabric.

[0061] (4) Preparation of self-lubricating fabric composites The self-lubricating fabric was impregnated with epoxy resin, and excess epoxy resin was removed by extrusion using a rubber roller. This step was repeated three times until the epoxy resin content in the composite material reached 23% by mass. The mixture was then heat-treated at 80℃ and 0.5MPa for 2 hours to obtain a pre-cured material. This pre-cured material was bonded to a 7075 aluminum alloy surface and cured at 120℃ and 0.5MPa for 120 minutes to obtain the self-lubricating fabric composite material. The average peel strength of the self-lubricating fabric composite material was 1.7 N / mm. After low-temperature-room-high-temperature tribological performance testing, the average wear of the composite material was 30 μm, accounting for 5.8% of the composite material thickness, and the average coefficient of friction was 0.15.

[0062] Example 2 (1) Pre-weaving process treatment Meta-aramid fibers were twisted at 600 r / min and a twist of 80 S / m before sizing to obtain pretreated meta-aramid fibers. The sizing conditions were as follows: sizing speed 200 m / min, sizing bath temperature 60℃, pre-drying temperature 85℃, and drying temperature 95℃.

[0063] Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers were twisted at 800 r / min and a twist of 80 S / m before sizing to obtain pretreated PTFE fibers. The sizing conditions were as follows: sizing speed 400 m / min, sizing bath temperature 60℃, pre-drying temperature 85℃, and drying temperature 95℃.

[0064] By mass percentage, the sizing agents for meta-aramid and polytetrafluoroethylene fibers are: 8% modified polyester sizing agent, 7% PVA, 0.01% nonionic antistatic agent, 0.01% polyether modified silicone defoamer, and the balance being water.

[0065] (2) Weave according to the established organizational structure Pretreated meta-aramid and pretreated polytetrafluoroethylene fibers were woven using a fabric weave structure with a weave cycle number R=4 to obtain a greige fabric. The total tightness of the greige fabric was 96.7, and the warp tightness was E. j The latitudinal compactness is 89, E. W The value is 72.7, and the mass per unit area is 260 g / m². 2 The mass content of aramid in the middle of the fabric is 42%.

[0066] (3) Dopamine-silane coupling agent treatment on fabric surface The fabric was desized in a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with pH=8~10 and 80~95℃ for 60 min, modified by immersion in a 0.01mol / L dopamine aqueous solution (pH=8.5) for 6 h, dried at 80℃, modified by immersion in a 4wt% KH550-ethanol-water mixed solution (ethanol:water volume ratio=1:6) for 2 h, and dried at 90℃ to obtain a self-lubricating fabric.

[0067] (4) Preparation of self-lubricating fabric composites The self-lubricating fabric was impregnated with phenolic resin, and excess phenolic resin was removed by squeezing with a rubber roller. This step was repeated twice until the mass percentage of phenolic resin in the composite material was 16%. The mixture was then heat-treated at 80℃ and 0.5MPa for 1 hour to obtain a pre-cured material. The pre-cured material was bonded to a 45# steel surface and cured at 160℃ and 0.9MPa for 110 minutes to obtain the self-lubricating fabric composite material. The average peel strength of the self-lubricating fabric composite material was 1.8 N / mm. After low-temperature-room-high-temperature tribological performance testing, the average wear of the composite material was only 45 μm, accounting for 11% of the composite material thickness, and the average coefficient of friction was 0.18.

[0068] Comparative Example 1 The only difference from Example 1 is that step (1) is omitted, and in step (2), the dopamine modification and silane coupling agent modification are replaced by cleaning the oil on the fiber surface with anhydrous ethanol. The specific steps are as follows: Meta-aramid and polytetrafluoroethylene fibers were woven using a weave structure with a weave count R=3 to obtain a greige fabric. The total tightness of the greige fabric was 99, and the warp tightness was E. j The latitudinal compactness is 94, and the latitudinal tightness is E. W The value is 83, and the mass per unit area is 295 g / m². 2 The aramid content in the intermediate position of the fabric was 39%. The fabric was desized using a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution with pH 8-10 and a temperature of 80-95℃. The oil on the fabric surface was removed using anhydrous ethanol, and the fabric was dried at 90℃ to obtain a self-lubricating fabric. The self-lubricating fabric was then impregnated with epoxy resin, and excess epoxy resin was removed by pressing with a rubber roller. This process was repeated three times until the epoxy resin content in the composite material reached 23% by mass. The mixture was then heat-treated at 80℃ and 0.5 MPa for 2 hours to obtain a pre-cured material. This pre-cured material was bonded to a 7075 aluminum alloy surface and cured at 120℃ and 0.5 MPa for 120 minutes to obtain the self-lubricating fabric composite material. The average peel strength of the self-lubricating fabric composite material was 1.0 N / mm. After low-temperature-room-high-temperature tribological performance testing, the average wear of the composite material was 110 μm, accounting for 21.3% of the composite material thickness, and the average coefficient of friction was 0.19.

[0069] Comparing Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, it is evident that the self-lubricating pad material prepared without pre-weaving treatment and dopamine-silane coupling agent treatment on the fabric surface exhibits significantly lower peel strength and tribological properties compared to the self-lubricating pad material prepared in Example 1 under the same test conditions. This indicates that the self-lubricating fabric prepared according to the present invention possesses superior interfacial bonding performance and tribological properties.

[0070] Comparative Example 2 Aramid III fiber was used as the warp yarn and PTFE fiber as the weft yarn, woven in a varied satin weave with 8 repeats, 3 warp flybacks, and 5 weft flybacks. The aramid III fiber fabric was not subjected to the treatment described in this patent. A self-lubricating liner material was prepared using phenolic resin via an impregnation method. The liner was then bonded to a 45# steel surface to obtain a self-lubricating fabric composite material. The average peel strength of the self-lubricating fabric composite material was 1.2 N / mm. After low-temperature-room-high-temperature tribological performance testing, the average wear of the composite material was 75 μm, accounting for 15% of the composite material thickness, and the average coefficient of friction was 0.21.

[0071] Compared to self-lubricating pad materials prepared using aramid III / PTFE fiber-woven satin weave fabrics, the self-lubricating fabric prepared in this invention has better interfacial bonding performance and tribological properties.

[0072] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
