This article has been devoted to investigation of the tribological properties of ultra-high molecular polyethylene/graphene oxide nanocomposite. The nanocomposite of ultra-high molecular polyethylene/graphene oxide was prepared with 0.5, 1.5, and 2.5wt% of graphene oxide and with a molecular weight of 3.7x10(6) by in-situ polymerization using Ziegler-Natta catalyst. In this method, graphene oxide was used along with magnesium ethoxide as a novel bi-support of the Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Analyzing the pin-on-disk test, the tribological properties of the nanocomposite, such as wear rate and mean friction coefficient, were investigated under the mentioned contents of graphene oxide. The results showed that an increase in graphene oxide content causes a reduction in both wear rate and mean coefficient friction. For instance, by adding only 5wt% graphene oxide to the polymeric matrix, the wear rate and mean coefficient friction decreased about 34% and 3.8%, respectively. Also, the morphological properties of the nanocomposite were investigated by using X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. In addition, thermal properties of the nanocomposite were analyzed using differential scanning calorimetry, under various contents of graphene oxide. The results of the morphological test indicated that the graphene oxide was completely exfoliated into the polymeric matrix without any agglomeration. Copyright (c) 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
