主 题:rubber DLC films hydrogen contact angle tribological performance
摘 要:Diamond-like carbon(DLC)films directly deposited on rubber substrate is undoubtedly one optimal option to improve the tribological properties due to its ultralow friction,high-hardness as well as good chemical compatibility with *** the relationship between film structure and tribological performance is vital for protecting *** this study it was demonstrated that the etching effect induced by hydrogen incorporation played positive roles in reducing surface roughness of DLC *** addition,the water contact angle(CA)of DLC-coated nitrile butadiene rubber(NBR)was sensitive to the surface energy and sp?carbon clustering of DLC *** importantly,the optimum tribological performance was obtained at the 29 at%H-containing DLC film coated on NBR,which mainly depended on the following key factors:(1)the DLC film with appropriate roughness matched the counterpart surface;(2)the contact area and surface energy controlled interface adhesive force;(3)the microstructure of DLC films impacted load-bearing capacity;and(4)the generation of graphitic phase acted as a solid *** understanding may draw inspiration for the fabrication of DLC films on rubber to achieve low friction coefficient.
