Abstract
In this paper, the tribological property of polyimide (PI) resin was improved by adding poly-p-phenylenebenzobisoxazole (PBO) fibers. The effects of PBO fiber volume fraction were studied by mechanics and tribology tests. The fracture and wear surfaces of PBO/PI composites were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The measurement showed that the flexural properties of composites reinforced by 10 vol% PBO fibers were lower than pure PI resin. With the increase of PBO fiber content, the flexural strength was first increase and then decrease. The frictional coefficient and wear rate of the PBO/PI composites varied with the variety of fiber content, and the optimum parameter was obtained at 20 vol%. The dominant wear mechanism and friction process were discussed on the basis of microscopic morphology analysis of wear surface of PBO/PI composite and the counterpart.
