Abstract
PTFE friction at initial stages and upon transferred layer formation is conditioned, to a great extent, by molecular and kinetic processes in the surface layers. Antifrictional properties of transfer layers are largely dependent on temperature in the contact zone. It is shown that the typical PTFE friction force dependence on temperature could provide an explanation of its self-lubricity and high antifrictional properties.
