Ti2AlNb alloys with few-layer graphene were fabricated by spark plasma sintering (SPS) to enhance the tribological properties (TP) of the composite materials. Microstructure characteristics of the original few-layer graphene (FLG), Ti2AlNb powders, and the sintered composites were characterized by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Raman spectroscopy. The experimental results indicated that FLGs were homogeneously distributed in the composites. Tribological results indicated that the coefficient of friction (COF) of the composites was reduced as the content of FLG increased. Compared with the pure Ti2AlNb alloy, the average COF of the composite with 1.0 wt.% FLG was decreased by 9.4% and the wear rate was decreased by 36%. Meanwhile, the microstructures of the worn surface showed that TiC particles and friction layers formed by residual FLGs were present on the surface of the composites after tribological test. It is proposed that Ti2AlNb alloys with FLGs presented the enhanced wear resistance.

The tribological properties of Lithium grease specimens with different concentrations of Al2O3 nanoparticles were investigated using a pin on disc apparatus under different sliding speeds and normal loads. Results showed that Al2O3 nanoparticles enhanced the tribological properties of lithium grease and reduced the COF and wear scar width by approximately 57.9% and 47.5% respectively.

The increasing demand for polymer composites with novel or improved properties requires novel fillers. To meet the challenges posed, nanofillers such as graphene, carbon nanotubes, and titanium dioxide (TiO2) have been used. In the present work, few-layer graphene (FLG) and iron oxide (Fe3O4) or TiO2 were used as fillers in a room-temperature-vulcanized (RTV) silicone rubber (SR) matrix. Composites were prepared by mixing RTV-SR with nanofillers and then kept for vulcanization at room temperature for 24 h. The RTV-SR composites obtained were characterized with respect to their mechanical, actuation, and magnetic properties. Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis was performed to investigate the composite raw materials and finished composites, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was used to study composite surface elemental compositions. Results showed that mechanical properties were improved by adding fillers, and actuation displacements were dependent on the type of nanofiller used and the applied voltage. Magnetic stress-relaxation also increased with filler amount and stress-relaxation rates decreased when a magnetic field was applied parallel to the deformation axes. Thus, this study showed that the inclusion of iron oxide (Fe3O4) or TiO2 fillers in RTV-SR improves mechanical, actuation, and magnetic properties.

Abstract The defects into the hexagonal network of a sp2-hybridized carbon atom have been demonstrated to have a significant influence on intrinsic properties of graphene systems. In this paper, we presented a study of temperature-dependent Raman spectra of G peak and D’ band at low temperatures from 78 to 318 K in defective monolayer to few-layer graphene induced by ion C+ bombardment under the determination of vacancy uniformity. Defects lead to the increase of the negative temperature coefficient of G peak, with a value almost identical to that of D’ band. However, the variation of frequency and linewidth of G peak with layer number is contrary to D’ band. It derives from the related electron-phonon interaction in G and D’ phonon in the disorder-induced Raman scattering process. Our results are helpful to understand the mechanism of temperature-dependent phonons in graphene-based materials and provide valuable information on thermal properties of defects for the application of graphene-based devices.
