Abstract
Mesoporous silica SBA‐15/phenolic resin hybrid materials (SBA‐15/PF) were fabricated through in situ polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde in the presence of SBA‐15 and subsequent SBA‐15/PF nanocomposites were prepared by compression moldings. The results revealed that the glass transition temperatures and thermal stability of SBA‐15/PF hybrid materials were obviously enhanced compared to pure PF. In addition, the dynamic mechanical and friction properties of SBA‐15/PF nanocomposites were improved remarkably. For SBA‐15/PF nanocomposites containing 5.0 wt% of SBA‐15, the glass transition temperature of the nanocomposite increased by 13.0°C. Moreover, the nanocomposite showed stable friction coefficient and decreased wear rate. The wear mechanism was a combination of adhesive wear and abrasive wear for PF/SBA‐15 nanocomposites, while for pure PF friction material was a combination of adhesive wear and fatigue wear. POLYM.
