The wear behaviors of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene pins against titanium alloy and stainless steel disks moving in two different kinematic motion were investigated by conducting repeat pass rotational sliding and linear reciprocal sliding wear tests. Linear reciprocal motion wore more the polyethylene pin than did repeat pass rotational motion for both disk materials. It means that the repeated directional change of contact stresses generates more wear debris in polyethylene. For the linear reciprocal sliding tests, titanium alloy disks were damaged with some scratches after one million cycles but no surface damage was observed on the polyethylene pins. On the other hand, fur the repeat pass rotational sliding tests, all titanium alloy disks were severely abraded on the entire region of sliding track. This phenomenon can be interpreted by that stress fatigue under repeated sliding contact initiated titanium oxide layer wear particles from disk surface, and these hard particles were embedded into polyethylene pin and then they severely abraded the disk surface. From these results it can be concluded that the kinematic motion in pin-on-disk wear tests play a crucial role on the wear behaviors of UHMWPE pins against titanium alloy and stainless steef discs.

본 연구에서는 상이한 방법을 통하여 제조된 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌 (ultra high molecular polyethylene, UHMWPE)/카올린 복합재료의 마모 특성에 대하여 살펴보았다. 카올린 입자는 중합충전(in-situ polymerization)법과 분말 혼합법의 두 가지 상이한 방법을 통하 UHMWPE와 복합화되었으며 특히 분말 혼합법에서는 입자상으로 구성된 두 재료의 혼합 방법에 따른 입자 분산 및 마모 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 제조된 복합재료의 마모실험에서 입자 충전에 의하여 내마모성이 크게 향상되었는데 연삭마모가 지배적인 마모기구였으며, 중합충전법이 내마모성 향상에 있어서 분말혼합법에 비하여 효과적이었다. 또한 충전된 입자의 분산 상태와 계면 특성이 내마모성 향상에 중요한 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Deficiencies in wear and frost resistance as well as mechanical strength constitute the main causes of equipment failure under the harsh climatic conditions of the Earth's polar regions. To improve the properties of the materials used in this equipment, nanoparticle composites have been prepared from clays such as kaolinite, hectorite, and montmorillonite in combination with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). A number of techniques have been proposed to disperse silicate particles in PTFE or UHMWPE polymer matrices, and several successful processes have even been widely applied. Polymer nanocomposites that exhibit enhanced mechanical and thermal properties are promising materials for replacing metals and glass in the equipment intended for Arctic use. In this article, we will review PTFE- and UHMWPE-based layered silicate nanocomposites.
