Abstract High-performance carbon nanotubes reinforced polyether ether ketone (CNTs/PEEK) nanocomposites display an excellent combination of mechanical, thermal, and tribological properties. It is a challenge to deposit high-performance CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings via the coating techniques based on solution or melting processes due to low solubility and high melting point of PEEK for tribological applications. In this work, the CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings with CNTs contents of 0.1, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 wt% were prepared by flame spraying of mixed PEEK and CNTs powders using mechanical blending (MB) and ultrasound dispersion (UD) methods. The flame-sprayed CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings using UD powders preserved good CNTs dispersion, low porosity, and surface roughness, adhesive coating–substrate interfaces. The thermal degradation of PEEK ascribed to overheating of in-flight particles and flame-rescanning coatings was limited by good CNTs dispersion in flame-sprayed CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings with an increase of CNT contents. The good dispersion of CNTs aided in initiating crystallization and confined crystalline growth resulting in high crystallinity degree and small crystallite size of PEEK matrix in the flame-sprayed CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings. The uniform nanocomposite coatings with well-dispersed CNTs and few PEEK degradation in optimum content of 1.0 wt% preserved enhanced microhardness and superiorly tribological properties. The well-dispersed CNTs bonding with PEEK matrix enhanced the mechanical strength to restrict the generation of fatigue cracks from defects of voids, which promoted self-lubrication and wear resistance of flame-sprayed CNTs/PEEK nanocomposite coatings.

Original Coating

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was introduced into Ni60/Al2O3coating by flame spraying. The effect of adding CNTs on the tribological properties of the coating was studied by varying the CNTs content as 0.0, 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 wt% in the Ni60/Al2O3powders. The microhardness tester was used to measure the microhardness of the coating. Wear tests were performed on a pin-on-disk tribometer, to evaluate the tribological properties of the Ni60/Al2O3/CNTs coatings. Microstructural characterization was performed using scanning and transmission electron microscopy. Ni60/Al2O3/CNTs coatings revealed a lower wear rate and friction coefficient compared with the original coating, and their wear rates and friction coefficients showed a decreasing trend with increasing mass fraction of CNTs within the range from 0 to 3.0 wt% due to the effects of the reinforcement and reduced friction of CNTs. The results showed that the CNTs played dual roles in improving the tribological performance of the coating, indirectly by influencing the microstructure and mechanical properties of the coating and directly by acting as a lubricating medium.

Lubricating Film

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) film was prepared on silicon ( Si ) substrate with a 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) film as the interlayer in a multistep self-assembly process. The formation and microstructure of the CNTs film were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), water contact angles (WCAs) and X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS). Tribological properties were evaluated with a UMT-2MT reciprocating friction tester. Results show that the CNTs were successfully assembled on Si substrates by chemical bonding between functional groups. CNTs film exhibited excellent friction reduction, high load-bearing capacity and antiwear ability. The friction coefficient was reduced drastically from 0.7 to 0.16, with markedly prolonged antiwear lifetime compared to bare Si substrates or APTES film. These superior tribological properties are attributable to the remarkable mechanical properties of CNTs and strong bond properties with the APTES film. CNTs film is thus expected to find wider application as high-performance lubricating film in micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (M/NEMS) in future.

Structure Properties

Trace constituents, which can be very loosely defined as those present at concentration levels below 1 percent, often exert influence on structure, properties, and performance far greater than what might be estimated from their proportion alone. Defining the role of trace constituents in the microstructure, or indeed even determining their location, makes great demands on the available array of microanalytical tools. These demands become increasingly more challenging as the dimensions of the volume element to be probed become smaller. For example, a cubic volume element of silicon with an edge dimension of 1 micrometer contains approximately 5×1010 atoms. High performance secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) can be used to measure trace constituents to levels of hundreds of parts per billion from such a volume element (e. g., detection of at least 100 atoms to give 10% reproducibility with an overall detection efficiency of 1%, considering ionization, transmission, and counting).

Psychological Dimensions

Summary: Deterioration in performance associated with decreased ability to sustain attention may be found in long and tedious task sessions. The necessity for assessing a number of psychological dimensions in a single session often demands “short” tests capable of assessing individual differences in abilities such as vigilance and maintenance of high performance levels. In the present paper two tasks were selected as candidates for playing this role, the Abbreviated Vigilance Task (AVT) by Temple, Warm, Dember, LaGrange and Matthews (1996) and the Continuous Attention Test (CAT) by Tiplady (1992) . However, when applied to a sample of 829 candidates in a job-selection process for air-traffic controllers, neither of them showed discriminative capacity. In a second study, an extended version of the CAT was applied to a similar sample of 667 subjects, but also proved incapable of properly detecting individual differences. In short, at least in a selection context such as that studied here, neither of the tasks appeared appropriate for playing the role of a “short” test for discriminating individual differences in performance deterioration in sustained attention.
