Fluoropolymers have gained significant recognition mainly for their inertness, making them
highly desirable for applications requiring corrosion protection and hydrophobicity …

Tribological applications of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are often limited by technological
complexity to overcome its poor wear resistance. Here, a PTFE/polyetheretherketone …

PTFE fibers exhibit strong inertia and possess restricted interfacial compatibility with resin,
thereby constraining the application of PTFE self-lubricating composites. To address this …

The functionality of nanofillers in inducing favorable tribochemistry is considered crucial for
achieving ultralow wear in polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites. However, it remains …

Gallium-based liquid metal (GLM) has excellent extreme-pressure properties, but at low
sliding speeds, it is typically in a boundary or mixed lubrication, causing poorer properties …

Carbon fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (CF/PTFE) composites are known for their
exceptional tribological performance when sliding against steel or cast iron in inert gas …

The addition of a small selection of nano-sized fillers (eg, α-alumina) could cause a 1000×
run-in induced wear rate reduction to the otherwise high wear polytetrafluoroethylene …

Shear-induced mechanochemical tribofilm formation can stabilize surfaces, reduce interface
compatibility, minimize friction, and reduce wear. PTFE composites filled with particular …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites with suitable fillers can exhibit ultra-low wear via
transfer and running films formation and the prevention of matrix removal. However, they are …

Herein, a novel strategy of oil storage and transportation in polytetrafluoroethylene/porous
polylactic acid/polydopamine/rapeseed pollen (diatomaceous earth)/paraffin wax ternary …
