Abstract
This article investigates the mechanical and tribological properties of 3D-printed Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites containing Molybdenum disulphide MoS2 and graphite fillers. 7 filament strands were created with varying weight percentages to print 35 dog bones and 7-disc samples for further analysis. The results showed a 61% increase in tensile strength of MoS2-filled PEEK (MoS2/PEEK) composite compared to plain PEEK. The filled PEEK had a reduced frictional response time and an average coefficient of friction of about 36% and 69 %, respectively. MoS2/PEEK showed superior wear resistance of about 50% compared to graphite-impregnated PEEK (Gr./PEEK).
Keywords
