Many different polymers and polymer composites are used for engineering applications in
which friction and wear are critical issues. This article briefs (a) the importance of polymer …

Self-lubricating coatings have been widely used to reduce friction in moving machine
assemblies. However, the tribological performance of these coatings is strongly dependent …

Tribology at cryogenic temperatures has attracted much attention since the 1950s with the
acceleration of its applications in high-tech equipment such as cryogenic wind tunnels …

Thermal, thermo-mechanical and mechanical properties of four different commercially
available polyetheretherketones (PEEK) based materials were investigated. PEEK matrix …

Two polymers and five metal pairs were tested at six low temperature points and three
constant load speeds. The tribological properties were determined by joint iterative coupling …

This paper presents investigations on the tribological behaviour of PTFE composites against
steel at cryogenic temperatures. The results showed that the friction coefficient decreases …

Tribological behaviour of Polyimide (PI)-MoS 2 composite, pure PI, sputtering MoS 2 film is
investigated under RT-vacuum and cryogenic-vacuum through in-situ methods, ie, X-ray …

A pin-on-disk tribotester has been designed and constructed that enables cryogenic friction
and wear testing to be conducted either in liquid nitrogen (wet tests) or in dry sliding …

Solid lubricants used in aerospace applications must provide low friction and a predictable
operation life over an extreme range of temperatures, environments and contact conditions …

Up to now interest in low temperature technology has been restricted to applications in
space technology and superconductivity. However, some applications of cryotechnology are …
