Title: Tribological properties of PDA + PTFE coating in oil-lubricated condition

Abstract

In this work the tribological properties of 45 ± 2 μm-thick polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polydopamine (PDA) + PTFE coatings in oil-lubricated conditions were investigated under a normal load of 10 N and a linear reciprocating speed of 0.1 m/s. Both the PTFE and the PDA + PTFE coatings were deposited using an in-house spray-coating method. The PDA + PTFE coating was five times more durable compared to the PTFE coating in oil-lubricated conditions. Both PTFE and PDA + PTFE coatings showed lower COF in oil-lubricated conditions than in dry conditions. The nanomechanical properties measured by PeakForce Quantitative Nanomechanical (PFQNM) characterization method showed an increase in Young’s modulus and adhesion force for the PDA + PTFE coatings compared to the PTFE coatings. Chemical analysis showed that the cross-linking between PDA and PTFE polymer chains occurred during the high-temperature sintering procedure. Finally, the higher adhesion of PDA + PTFE coating to the cast iron substrate and the stronger cohesion due to the cross-linking between PDA and PTFE contributed to the higher durability of the PDA + PTFE composite coatings.
