Investigation of the effect of polytetrafluoroethylene-based PCM production technology on the mechanism of their wear and structure formation

This paper presents the results of tribotechnical and structural studies depending on the content of carbon fibers (CF) and the technology for producing polymer composite materials (PCM) based on polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). Based on the conducted studies, it was found that, depending on the content of HC in PTFE, the wear mechanism of composites based on it changes, as well as the products of tribotechnical reactions on friction surfaces change.
