Abstract
The solid particle erosion characteristics of the body materials used in high-speed moving equipment have attracted wide attention from researchers. In the last few years, nanofiller/polymer composites have been widely investigated in academia and industry because of their outstanding multifunction properties. In order to enhance the erosion resistance of existing materials and to develop new composite materials with high strength and excellent erosion resistance, we attempted to use nano carbon fiber (VGCF) with high strength and high modulus as filler for reinforcing UP resin matrix. This study investigated the effects of the filler weight content, impact angle, and impact velocity on the erosion wear characteristics of UP resin composite materials. The mechanical properties of composite materials reinforced by VGCF were also evaluated. The results indicate that it is feasible to simultaneously improve the erosion resistance and mechanical properties of UP resin by using VGCF filler.
