THE EFFECT OF THE FORMATION OF POLYMER /SURFACTANT COMPLEXES ON SELECTED TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES OF THEIR AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS
Journal Title: Tribologia - Year 2018, Vol 281, Issue 5
Abstract
Aqueous solutions of sodium alkyl sulphate (surfactant) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (polymer) whose physicochemical properties, including complexing ability, have been widely described in the literature were proposed as a model lubricant. It has been assumed that aqueous solutions of these compounds will favourably modify lubricating properties of water under high load conditions. For this purpose, measurements were made on a four-ball apparatus (T-02 Tester) for aqueous solutions of these compounds. Two kinds of tests were carried out: at constant loads (2, 3, and 4 kN) and variable loads within the range of 0 to 7.2 kN. Unexpectedly, high decreases in motion resistance and wear as well as an increase in antiseizure properties were found in relation to water as a base. The results obtained are so promising that solutions with an optimized composition can find practical applications. The surprisingly high effectiveness of the additives used results from the formation of surfactant/polymer complexes. These adducts adsorb at the interface, and, under friction conditions, they form a lubricant film capable of carrying high loads.<br/><br/>
