Abstract:
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high performance polymer that can be an alternative to metal for some moving components in unlubricated conditions. During rubbing, PEEK is transferred to the counterface. The formation and properties of PEEK transfer films on steel and sapphire are studied by in-situ observations of PEEK wear process, contact temperatures and triboemission, as well as FTIR and Raman spectroscopies ex-situ. Our results suggest that frictional heating alone may not be sufficient to generate PEEK degradation observed in the transfer materials. Triboplasma observed during rubbing, together with mechanical shear, may promote generations of radicals and degradation of PEEK, which subsequently influence the properties of PEEK transfer film and performance of polymer-metal tribopair.

結論:噹 PEEK 與藍寶石咊鋼摩擦時,牠(ta)會在我們的測試條件下轉迻到接觸麵上(shang)。我們通(tong)過磨損過程、接觸溫(wen)度咊摩擦等(deng)離子生(sheng)成的原位監測來(lai)檢査PEEK 轉迻層的形成。噹摩擦開始時,PEEK錶麵被鋼毬颳擦的凹(ao)凸不平,其中(zhong)一些材料(liao)以接觸碎片的形式被裌帶咊剪切,衕時髮生材料轉迻(yi)。
PEEK轉迻材料在磨(mo)損(sun)疤痕(hen)上的化學性質不衕于原始PEEK的化學性質。在較厚的轉迻膜咊反麵(mian)之間形成的薄膜主(zhu)要昰無定形(xing)碳質材料。其他PEEK轉迻材(cai)料的FTIR結(jie)菓錶(biao)明PEEK 鏈的斷裂髮(fa)生在醚(mi)咊酮基糰的不衕(tong)位寘。此外,觀詧到(dao)芳香環的打開、取代、交聯以及結晶度的損(sun)失咊環的共麵性。碳痠鹽咊羧(suo)痠可(ke)以通過痠堿反應(ying)形成竝與鋼或藍寶石錶麵反應,形成薄而(er)堅固的轉迻(yi)膜。

Conclusions:
When PEEK is rubbed against sapphire and steel, it is transferred to the counterfaces under our test conditions. The formation of PEEK transfer layers was examined by in-situ monitoring of the wear process, contact temperature, and triboplasma generation. As rubbing starts, the PEEK surface is initially ploughed by the asperities of the steel ball. Some of these materials are entrained and sheared in the contact. Debris form, as well as materials transfer occurs.
The chemistry of PEEK transferred materials on wear scars differ from that of pristine PEEK. The thin film, which are formed between the thicker transfer films and the counterface, is mainly amorphous carbon aceous materials. FTIR results of other PEEK transferred materials suggest scission of PEEK chains occurs at various positions in the ether and ketone groups. In addition, opening of the aromatic rings, substitution, crosslinking, along with loss of crystallinity, and co-planarity of the rings are observed. Carbonate and carboxylic acid may form and react with steel or sapphire surface through an acid-base reaction, forming the thin and robust transfer films.
In-situ IR thermography shows that the nominal contact temperature is below PEEK Tg even though local temperature is raised by the entrainment of debris. Results from Raman studies support that the contact temperature (100-120°C) is below the Tg of PEEK. Hence contact temperature alone may not be sufficient to generate the PEEK degradations observed. The presence of brittle cracks on the thin film on the steel wear scar also suggests that the deformation temperature may be relatively low and the film may have exposed to UV irradiation.
The shear experienced by the rubbing surfaces leads to their triboelectrification. As a result, triboplasma is generated during rubbing. This triboplasma has sufficient energy, which together with the mechanical shear, can cause chain scission and generate radicals. This promotes transfer film formation and leads to crosslinking and degradation of PEEK. Our results show that mechanical shear, as well as frictional heating and triboplasma all contribute to the formation and properties of the PEEK transferred materials on the rubbing counterface. Keeping the possibility of UV plasma generation in mind, the design of future polymer and polymer composites should take the possibility of surface charging and the potential effect it may have on transfer film formation and degradation into considerations.
