The effects of introducing glass fiber (GF) and/or carbon fiber (CF) filler materials on the
friction and wear characteristics of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) …

Carbon fiber (CF) reinforced polyetheretherketone (PEEK) composites were prepared and
their tribological behaviors under sea water lubrication were comparatively investigated. The …

Polyether-etherketone (PEEK) is a corrosion-resistant material that has been widely used in
aqueous lubrication. However, its anti-wear performance must be improved for its …

Abstract Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) and PEEK composites are widely used polymers in
many engineering applications where dry sliding is required. In this study, the influence of …

In this work the effect of fiber orientation on the mechanical and tribological properties of
SCF (short carbon fibers)/PTFE (poly-tetra-fluor-ethylene)/graphite filled PEEK (poly-ether …

As having high heat resistance, excellent mechanical and tribological properties, Polyether-
Ether-Ketone (PEEK) is widely used in aerospace, rail transit, etc. The short basalt fiber (BF) …
