Compared with the prior art, the wood laser-induced graphene/morph-genetic fiber/epoxy resin water-lubricated composite material and the preparation method thereof provided by the invention have the following advantages:
(1) the laser-induced graphene for wood is prepared by performing surface modification on the surface of wood through laser irradiation. During the laser irradiation process, wood begins to be converted into amorphous carbon, and the amorphous carbon selectively absorbs laser energy and then is converted into graphene. In the laser induction process of the wood, besides the selection of laser wavelength, power and protective gas, the selection is crucial to the generation of graphene, and the formation of graphene is directly influenced by the content of lignin. Wood with higher lignin content is more susceptible to the formation of laser-induced graphene.

(2) The wood morph-genetic fiber is natural wood fiber and a natural three-dimensional structure thereof formed by removing lignin, hemicellulose and other substances by using a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. Although the natural wood has simple components, the natural wood is endowed with mechanical properties such as high strength, high toughness, impact resistance and the like through a complex and fine structure combination. Therefore, the morph-genetic fiber is used for impregnating the low-viscosity epoxy resin, so that the morph-genetic fiber is fully filled in the pore canal inside the morph-genetic fiber to prepare the composite material, and the surface appearance and the natural three-dimensional structure of the fiber increase the mechanical properties of the composite material, such as toughness and the like.
