Abstract
Polyetherimide (PEI) composites reinforced with graphite faric (GrF) were developed. For improved adhesion between the matrix and fiber, the fibers were treated with 0.3 % lanthanum fluoride (LaF3) and nano sized particles of ytterbium fluoride (YbF3) based suspension in ethanol. The specific wear rate (K0) showed improvement of ≈50 % and the coefficient of friction (μ) reduced by ≈13 % due to treatment. YbF3 treated fabric composite showed higher wear resistance compared to LaF3 μ of LaF3 treated composites on the other hand was lower than the composite treated with YbF3.
