Inspired by the hierarchical structure of crab legs, this study develops a hybrid fiber filler designed to synergistically enhance the tribological and mechanical properties of UHMWPE composites. The filler (PBO@PDA@ZnO) architecture utilizes poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) fibers as a rigid structural skeleton, employs polydopamine (PDA) as a functional intermediate layer, and incorporates uniformly loaded zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles on the surface to create a \u201crigid skeleton-functional particle\u201d system. The results indicate that the PBO@PDA@ZnO hybrid filler significantly optimizes both mechanical and tribological performance. Specifically, the UHMWPE composite reinforced with 1 wt % filler exhibits the best overall performance, with the elongation at break increasing from 650% to 850% while simultaneously improving tensile strength. Furthermore, under both low and high load conditions, the friction coefficient of the UHMWPE composite is all reduced by over 60%, and the wear rate is decreased by an order of magnitude, with the lowest value reaching 8.46 \u00d7 10\u20137 mm3\/N\u00b7m. This superior performance is attributed to the synergistic effects of fiber reinforcement, stable transfer film formation, and the \u201cmicro-bearing\u201d rolling effect of the ZnO nanoparticles. This study provides a biomimetic strategy for the fabrication of high-performance self-lubricating UHMWPE composites.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1021\/polymscitech.6c00046","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,16]],"date-time":"2026-06-16T06:44:17Z","timestamp":1781592257000},"page":"713-727","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Crab Leg-Inspired\nPoly(\n                    <i>p<\/i>\n                    -phenylene\nbenzobisoxazole) Hybrid Fibers for Boosting the Tribological Performance\nof UHMWPE Composites"],"prefix":"10.1021","volume":"2","author":[{"given":"Yaodong","family":"Xiao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei University , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, 430062"]},{"name":"Jihua Laboratory , , , ,","place":["Foshan, Guangdong Province, China, 528200"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1214-5042","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Qunchao","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Hubei University , , , ,","place":["Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, 430062"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liang","family":"Tian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, Shaanxi Province, China, 710054"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8290-5094","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiaoqing","family":"Ming","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Xi\u2019an Jiaotong University , , , ,","place":["Xi\u2019an, Shaanxi Province, China, 710049"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Robert K.
