丁腈橡胶基纳米复合材料水润滑尾轴承的摩擦学行为与机理研究

With the ship water lubricated rubber stern bearing at start/stop or low speed, the stern bearing and shaft are under the conditions of boundary lubrication and mixed lubrication, when friction vibration and noise are easily produced by the stick-sliding phenomenon. In the exploration of new materials of ship water lubricated rubber stern bearing, with the excellent structure and performance compared with traditional rubber composites, the rubber based nanocomposites is playing an increasingly important role, which is a most suitable candidate of the dominant material for the next generation of water lubricated stern bearing. In this research project, a kind of nitrile rubber nanocomposites was fabricated by mixed moulding of the blending rubber of nitrile rubber and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene and the powders of nano-graphite, nano-zinc oxide, nano-SiO2 and nano-MoS2 will be utilized, which are the main filler and auxiliary materials respectively. And with the nanocomposites, as well as the water lubricated stern bearing witch made of this material as the object, the stick-sliding phenomenon of the nitrile rubber based nanocomposites water lubricated stern bearing can be observed by microscopic analysis and machine vision technology. Through the characterization and analysis of the vulcanization properties, interface bonding and mechanical performance of the composite materials, and the investigation of the effect of nanoparticles for the enhancement and tribological properties of the rubber, a quantitative relationship between the structure of the rubber based nanocomposites and its tribological performance will be established, thus to provide theoretical supports for friction vibration suppression and noise reduction of stern bearings.

舰船水润滑橡胶尾轴承在启动、停机和低速运转时，尾轴承与尾轴处于边界润滑或混合润滑状况，极易产生粘–滑现象引起的摩擦振动与噪声，在水润滑橡胶尾轴承新型材料的探索中，橡胶基纳米复合材料开始扮演着愈加重要的角色，很有可能成为下一代水润滑尾轴承的主导材料。. 本项目以丁腈橡胶与超高分子量聚乙烯共混胶料和纳米石墨、纳米氧化锌、纳米SiO2、纳米MoS2等粉末为主要填料或辅料的丁腈橡胶基纳米复合材料及其水润滑尾轴承为对象，以微观分析和机器视觉技术为手段，以观察水润滑尾轴承粘–滑现象为突破口，通过对复合材料的硫化特性、界面结合、力学性能等进行表征与分析，考察纳米粒子对橡胶基体的增强效应及摩擦学性能影响，从而建立起橡胶基纳米复合材料结构与摩擦学性能之间的定量关系，为抑制尾轴承摩擦振动和降低噪声提供理论依据。
