Abstract

Fluorinated graphene/ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (FG/UHMWPE) composites were prepared by ultrasonic dispersion and hot pressing. The mechanical propertys and tribological property of pure UHMWPE and FG/UHMWPE composites were investigated by micro hardness tester and high-speed reciprocating friction tester. The wear volume of the sample was measured by the scanning electron microscope, and Micro-XAM noncontact 3D surface profiler, and the corresponding volume wear rate was also calculated. The results showed adding FG could obviously improve the microhardness of UHMWPE. Adding FG not only reduced the friction coefficient of UHMWPE, but also significantly reduced the volume wear rate of UHMWPE, and the higher the FG content, the smaller the volume wear rate of FG/UHMWPE composites. The addition of FG can improve the tribological property of UHMWPE.
