Zusammenfassung:Due to the chemical inertness of the basalt fiber (BF) surface, the weaker interfacial bonding between BF and polymer matrices will seriously affect the further application of basalt fiber enhanced composites. In this study, a continuous and compact graphene oxide (GO) layer was grafted onto the surface of basalt fiber (BF) using biomimetic polydopamine (PDA) as a bridge to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of polyamide 6. The impact and flexural strength of the PA6 composites filled by the GO grafting BF (GO-PDA-BF/PA6) indicated that the introduction of GO has made a larger improvement in interface bonding performance between BF and PA6 matrix. The friction and wear tests showed the wear rate of the GO-PDA-BF/PA6 composite decreased by 51% compared with BF/PA6 composites and it also showed the best wear resistance and load-carrying capacity under various applied loads and sliding speeds, explained by the improved interface bonding between GO-PDA-BF and PA6 matrix and the anti-wear protective transfer film formed by GO in the worn surface. This study provided a considerable flexibility strategy of tailoring the interfacial compatibility between reinforcement and matrix for effectively improving the comprehensive performance of composites. Graphene oxide was grafted onto the surface of basalt fiber via polydopamine to enhance the interfacial adhesion of PA6 composites.
