Wear is closely related to friction and lubrication; the study of these three subjects is known
as tribology. In science and technology it is concerned with interacting surfaces in relative …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is widely used in tribological applications. However, it faces
challenges due to its high wear rate. Reinforcement of additives in PTFE reduces its wear …

This paper presents the mechanical and tribological characteristics of potassium titanate
whisker (PTW) reinforced epoxy composites. The effect of various test variables and material …

In this paper, we studied the sliding wear behaviour of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-based
composites under conditions relevant to rotary seals. We specifically aimed to investigate …

The aim of this paper is to obtain lubricant composite coatings of bronze (copper with 10–
15% tin) with PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) particles over mild steel substrate and to …

In this study, the influence of different weight percentages of glass fiber (GF) reinforcement
on the mechanical properties of nylon (PA6) composite is investigated. Test specimens of …

Purpose–The present paper seeks to report the effect of duration of rubbing on friction
coefficient for different polymer and composite materials. Variations of friction coefficient and …

Oxyfluorinated graphene (OFGR) was incorporated in 0, 0.75, 1, 2, 4 and 7 vol%,
respectively, in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) via solvent-assisted dispersion prior to …

In the present study, friction coefficient and wear rate of gear fiber reinforced plastic (gear
fiber) and glass fiber reinforced plastic (glass fiber) sliding against mild steel are …

In this study, we constructed molecular friction models for polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE)/graphene composites with various defect ratios to represent their different wear …
