Enhanced Tribological Performance of PTFE Composites with Polyimide Pulp and GCNTs

This study investigates PTFE composites reinforced with polyimide pulp and graphitized carbon nanotubes to improve wear resistance and friction properties. The composite containing 5 wt% PI pulp and 1 wt% GCNT showed a significant reduction in coefficient of friction and wear rate compared to pure PTFE. These findings highlight potential advancements for PTFE applications in demanding mechanical components.
