Study on the synergistic effect of carbon fiber and graphite and nanoparticle on the friction and wear behavior of polyimide composites (2010, background): “Tribological properties of polymer composites can also be greatly enhanced with the addition of nanoparticles, such as nano-Al2O3/polyimide [15], nano-ZnO/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) [16], and nano-TiO2/epoxy [17].”
Tribological Sensitivity of PTFE/Alumina Nanocomposites to a Range of Traditional Surface Finishes (2005, background): “[6] filled PTFE with nanometer-sized ZnO and found 15 wt% (weight percent of fillers) to be the optimal filler content for reducing wear rate while retaining a low friction coefficient.”
Effect of particle surface treatment on the tribological performance of epoxy based nanocomposites (2002, background): “[5] investigated the tribological characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites filled with”

Environmental dependence of ultra-low wear behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and alumina composites suggests tribochemical mechanisms (2012, background): “Fillers of all shapes and sizes have reduced the wear rates of PTFE by as little as a few percent to up to five orders of magnitude [7–23].”
