Abstract

AbstractA series of melt‐processible fluoropolymer compounds including ethylene‐tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE), poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVF2), ethylene‐chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer (ECTFE), perfluoroalkoxy modified tetrafluoroethylene (PFA), and fluorinated ethylene‐propylene copolymer (FEP) containing reinforcing glass fiber, milled glass fiber, carbon fiber, minerals, poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) lubricant powder, graphite powder and MoS2 were prepared and characterized. The mechanical, physical, thermal, and tribiological properties of these composites were compared and ranked for suitability in various applications. These composites represent the first comprehensive evaluation of reinforced and filled meltprocessible fluoropolymer composites.
