The Influence of Modified Polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) on the Properties of PA6/PTFE Blends

Abstract:

Polyamide, is engineering materials, has been widely used due to their high mechanical properties and good chemical stability although their moisture absorbtion can cause problems. In recent years, polyamides have been used as wear resistance materials due to their self-lubricating characteristics as well as good strength and stiffness ^[1]. However the high dry friction coefficient of polyamides restricts their application. Thus, modifying polyamides to improve the abrasion resistant property is desirable.
