• Environmental dependence of ultra-low wear behavior of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and alumina composites suggests tribochemical mechanisms (2012, methodology): “A linear reciprocating tribometer similar to those previously described by Sawyer and Schmitz [9,28,29] was designed and built inside of an environmentally controlled glove box.”
• Mechanistic Studies in Friction and Wear of Bulk Materials (2014, background): “(139) showed that alumina nanoparticles provided further reductions at lower filler loadings [1 × 10−6 mm3/(N·m) at 10%].”
• Improved wear resistance in alumina-PTFE nanocomposites with irregular shaped nanoparticles (2006, methodology): “The processing of ceramic nanoparticle filled PTFE follows the procedure described in [1,2], and uses the same PTFE powders.”
