Abstract
ABSTRACT A series of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites filled with CF (carbon fiber) and MoS2 (molybdenum disulfide) were prepared by cold-pressing sintering. The tensile strength and elongation at the breakpoint of the samples were measured with a bench-top tensile machine, friction and wear performance were tested with an abrasion machine, and the morphology and microscopic structure were analysed by SEM. The results show that the tensile strength, the elongation at breakage, and the wear resistance were all improved after filling compared to the pure PTFE. The CF/MoS2/PTFE composites filled with CF (particle size 7.498 μm) had the optimal tensile strength and elongation at the breakpoint. Correspondingly, the wear rate was the smallest when the particle size was 23.733 μm.
