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 …

Hydraulic seal, generally made up of elastomers, is used in hydraulic systems to prevent the
leakage and facilitate the efficient transmission of fluid power into mechanical power. Most of …

The wear performance of non-toxic and respiratory non-hazardous natural fiber reinforced
epoxy composites has steadily become an important design parameter due to their …

The growing impact of airborne pollutants and explosive gases on human health and
occupational safety has escalated the demand of sensors to monitor hazardous gases. This …

In this work, the effects of crystallinity on the LPV (short for the limiting PV) value and
tribological behaviors were investigated under different surface roughness and velocities …

This study investigates the contact temperatures reached due to frictional heating on TPU
(Thermoplastic polyurethane) and NBR (Nitrile butadiene rubber) seal surfaces during …

The direct blending of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) with a solid lubricant such as
polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) improves its tribological performance, but compromises its …

In this present work, the sliding wear behaviour of hybrid polymer nanocomposites was
investigated under different loading conditions and against different counterface roughness …

PTFE/copper composites were prepared by compression molding at room temperature and
subsequent heat treatment in the atmosphere. Transfer films were prepared on a GCr15 disc …

High‐performance polymer‐based frictional materials have become increasingly important
to improve the mechanical output properties of ultrasonic motors. This study discussed the …
