Using Nanotribotesting for the Creation of Modified Exfoliated Graphite-Based Materials

Methodical approach an evaluation of synthesis of alumosilicates on the surface of EG-particles in order to improve the thermooxidazing resistance of the graphite. Using perspective trends in formation of exfoliated graphite (EG)-based lightweight composition materials by synthesis of non-organic combinations on the surface of EG-particles, it was proved the possibility of purposeful change of properties both of EG-powder surface and modified EG-based moulded materials. Using the nanotribospectral test method, we have developed approaches to the study thermo-oxide and product manufacturing processes of the modified EG-based lightweight materials. It has been found that the parameters of the nanotribospectral test method are sensitive to the structural reorganisation processes that proceed in the bulk of the material and may be used for the optimisation product process and high estimation and monitoring of its quality.
