...Wei Sun; Jiaxin Ye; Xiaojun Liu; Kun Liu Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has a low friction coefficient but poor wear resistance (k ∼ 10 −3 mm 3 /Nm) against various surfaces. Early mechanical modeling suggests the enhanced anti-wear performance of PTFE composites (k ∼ 10 −5 mm 3 /Nm) relies...

... friction of ice on stainless steel and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) substrates at low velocities and a wide range of temperatures to a minimum of −60 °C. The results show a strong reduction in friction with increase in temperature. Low friction at low velocities and high temperatures may be owing...

...S. B. Glavatskih; Michel Fillon Results of a combined theoretical and experimental investigation into the operation of thrust bearings with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-faced pads are reported. Bearing performance is analyzed in terms of temperature, power loss, oil film thickness and pressure...

...H. S. Benabdallah; J. J. Wei The friction and wear properties of PTFE and POM were investigated using a ball-on-steel ring tester under dry and lubricated conditions by paraffin and 10W–30 oils. SEM, EDAX, FTIR, and surface wettability techniques were used to characterize and assess the morphology...
