In this work, the nano-ZrO2 particles were used as the friction modifiers to improve the friction and wear performance of PTFE-PPS composites. The friction and wear characteristics of PTFE/PPS-nano-ZrO2 composites were investigated by a block-on-ring tester under dry friction sliding condition. The worn surfaces, counterpart transfer films and wear debris were studied by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the increase of nano- ZrO2 content could effectively reduce the coefficient of friction and enhance the anti-wear ability of PTFEPPS composites. Especially, the best tribological properties of the composites were obtained when the particle content of nano-ZrO2 was 10 vol%, the anti-wear performance of composite is 195 times better than that of the unfilled PTFE-PPS composite. Under different conditions, the coefficient of friction of PTFE/PPS-nano-ZrO2 composites was more affected by the applied load while the wear rate was more affected by the sliding velocity.展开更多

Two key factors （i.e., pressure and temperature） were investigated to explore the effects of catalyst structure and physic-chemical properties （i.e., morphology, reducing property, oxygen storage capacity and specific surface area）. The resulting materials were characterized with X-ray diffraction （XRD）, high resolution transmission electron micros-copy （HRTEM）, Brunauer-Emmett-Teller （BET）,hydrogen temperature programmed reduction （H2-TPR） and oxygen storage capac-ity （OSC） measurement, respectively. The experimental results showed that lower temperatures promoted production of hollow struc-ture nano-particulates. The particle morphology also changed significantly, i.e. the solid construction was first transferred to hollow structure then back to solid construction. The optimal conditions for obtaining hollow nano-particles were determined at 45 °C, 18.0–24.0 MPa.展开更多

Two kinds of ZrO2 were used as support, one （ZrO2-1） was obtained from the commercial ZrO2 and the other （ZrO2-2） was issued from the thermal decomposition of zirconium nitrate. It was found that the CuO/ZrO2-2 catalyst was more active than CuO/ZrO2-1. N2 adsorption, H2-TPR and XRD measurements showed that larger surface area, better reduction property, presence of tetragonal ZrO2 and higher dispersion of active component for CuO/ZrO2-2 than that of CuO/ZrO2-1. These factors could be the dominating reasons for its higher activity for methane combustion.展开更多
