Abstract The friction and wear properties of polyoxymethylene/polytetrafluoroethylene (POM/PTFE) composites were investigated by using a block-on-ring friction tester and special focus was paid to the effect of weight average molar mass (Mw) of POM. To study the thermodynamic characteristics and wear mechanism of composites, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used. Results showed that friction and wear properties of the composite blends were strongly affected by the Mw of POM and the loading fractions of PTFE. POM/PTFE composites with lower Mw of POM owned better wear resistance abilities under a high-speed sliding regime, which resulted from the effective lubrication of transferred wear debris under a relatively high sliding speed. However, the transfer layer on the counterface could be easily peeled off under the low sliding speed, resulting in higher wear rate of POM/PTFE composites with lower Mw of POM. POM and its composites with high Mw showed comparative high friction levels, related to the strong adhesion between the resin and the steel counterpart. DSC analysis showed that POM with lower Mw had higher crystallinity, which was beneficial to the improvement of wear resistance in a high-speed sliding condition.

The friction and wear properties of polymer were investigated under a hydrogen atmosphere, by using PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) and two kinds of PTFE composites. Experiments were also conducted in air, nitrogen, and vacuum environment. The experiment carried out by pin-on-disk friction and wears apparatus in the vacuum chamber. Pin specimens are no filling PTFE, Gr-filled PTFE (Gr filled with 25 wt%) and MoS2–filled PTFE (MoS2 filled with 25 wt%). Friction disk is aluminum alloy 6061-T6 with 0.02μm surface roughness. Aluminum alloy 6061-T6 is able to use for apparatus for hydrogen. After experiments, specific wear rate was calculated, specimen surface, wear track and wear debris were observed, surface profile of the wear track were measured. The specific wear rate of unfilled PTFE and PTFE/MoS2 of in air was lower than the other atmospheres. The A6061-T6 disk was worn by PTFE pin specimens and in the case of wear track was much rougher, the specific wear rate of pin specimens tended to increase without unfilled PTFE in air and PTFE/Gr.

Due to the poor thermal conduction of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), some fillers are often added into PTFE matrix to improve its thermal conduction and enhance its tribological performance. In our work, to increase their thermal conduction, the PTFE composites with different contents of copper particles were prepared. The friction and wear properties of the composites were tested. The effect of thermal conduction on tribological properties of the PTFE based composites was analyzed, and the wear mechanisms were also discussed. The results showed that with the increase of the thermal conductivity of the PTFE based composites, the coefficient of friction of the materials reduced, and the wear of the materials was dramatically decreased.

In order to get PTFE(polyfluortetraethylene) composites of good friction and wear properties used in vacuum and low temperature conditions, do the tribological experiments of GF (glass fibre)/PTFE composites under vacuum and low-temperature environment. The results show that: with the increase of the GF size, the friction coefficient increases, with the increase of GF content, the friction coefficient increases.
