Environmental dependence of ultra-low wear behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and alumina composites suggests tribochemical mechanisms (2012, background): “The effects of countersurface roughness on the wear properties of this material have been studied previously [24].”
Ultralow Wear PTFE and Alumina Composites: It is All About Tribochemistry (2015, methodology): “8–10], running films on the surface of the countersurface [8, 11], polymer morphology [2, 4, 13, 14], filler phase, filler size and shape [1, 3, 10, 14], composite dispersion [4], filler reinforcement mechanisms [11, 14], PTFE fibrillation [13, 14], environmental chemistry [5, 7], and countersurface”
Improved wear resistance in alumina-PTFE nanocomposites with irregular shaped nanoparticles (2006, methodology): “Sawyer et al. [1] used 38 nm l2O3 filler to improve the wear performance of PTFE, and he wear resistance of this nanocomposite increased monoonically with filler wt.%, eventually being 600 times more ear resistant than unfilled PTFE at a loading of 20 wt.%. urris and Sawyer [2] and Li et al. [3] hav”
Synergetic effects of surface texturing and solid lubricants to tailor friction and wear – A review (2021, background): “For steady state conditions reached after the formation of a thin and homogenous transfer film, Burris and Sawyer showed that the wear performance of PTFE nano-composites did not depend on the roughness of the counter-body [104].”
Effect of Nano Hexagonal Boron Nitride Lubricant Additives on the Friction and Wear Properties of AISI 4140 Steel (2013, background): “This situation causes the formation of a partially discontinued lubrication film; hence, the wear rate increases (Burris and Sawyer 2005; Lee et al. 2009; Mosleh et al. 2009).”
