Abstract

The polyimide (PI)/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-COOH) nanocomposite films were synthesized by situ polymerization method. The results showed that the incorporation of MWCNTs-COOH greatly enhanced thermal stability and mechanical property of PI. PI/MWCNTs-COOH nanocomposites exhibited better tribological properties under seawater lubrication than other conditions because of excellent lubricating effect of seawater. Besides, the wear resistance of PI under seawater lubrication had been greatly improved by filling MWCNTs-COOH, because strong interfacial adhesion between PI matrix and MWCNTs-COOH nanofillers could transfer load effectively between contact surfaces. In particular, when the content of MWCNTs-COOH was 0.7 wt%, the corresponding PI/MWCNTs-COOH nanocomposites had the best tribological properties under seawater lubrication.

Graphical Abstract

The polyimide (PI)/carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-COOH) nanocomposite films were synthesized by in situ polymerization using 4,4′-oxydianiline (ODA), carboxyl-functionalized multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNTs-COOH) and pyromellitic dianhydride (PMDA). The tribological properties of PI/MWCNTs-COOH nanocomposite films were measured under dry sliding condition, pure water condition and seawater lubrication condition. This study can provide some guidance to develop polymer materials with excellent wear resistance suitable for ocean environment.
