Abstract

AbstractPolyaniline/molybdenum disulfide (PANI/MoS2) composites doped with hydrochloric acid were synthesised by in situ polymerisation and characterised by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The tribological properties of PANI/MoS2 as composite lithium grease additive were investigated by MFT‐R4000 current‐carrying friction and wear tester. SEM observed the surface morphologies of the wear scars, and energy dispersive spectroscopy and X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysed the element distribution and chemical state. The results show that PANI/MoS2 composites have better tribological and electrical properties than PANI and MoS2 additives alone and in the same proportion. Therefore, it can be concluded that MoS2 and synergism of polyaniline modifier.
