Mechanisms behind the environmental sensitivity of carbon fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
Abstract Carbon fiber reinforced polytetrafluoroethylene (CF/PTFE) composites are known for their exceptional tribological performance when sliding against steel or cast iron in inert gas environments. Compared to experiments in humid air, about an order of magnitude lower wear rate and several time...
