TL;DR
This paper studies composite coatings that improve performance in space environments by reducing wear and increasing durability.
Contribution
A new self-stratifying composite coating is developed using amino-POSS to enhance AO resistance and tribological performance in LEO conditions.
Findings
Gradient coating reduced mass loss by 78% under atomic oxygen exposure.
Friction coefficient was more stable and lower at low temperatures compared to high temperatures.
POSS modification decreased wear rates by 77.5% and 50% at high and low temperatures, respectively.
Abstract
In low Earth orbit (LEO), special environments such as atomic oxygen (AO), alternating high and low temperatures, and high vacuum can seriously affect the reliability and service lifetime of moving parts of space equipment. Therefore, there is an increasingly urgent demand for long-life, high-performance lubricating protective coatings with the rapid evolution of astronautical technology. In this study, polyimide (PI) was modified by polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) with different numbers of functional groups to fabricate PI-based self-stratifying gradient composite lubricating coatings. The coating exhibited significantly enhanced AO resistance, and its vacuum tribological properties under alternating high and low temperature conditions were investigated. Results show that the mass loss of the gradient coating under AO exposure was significantly reduced by 78%, and the…
