Ultralow Wear PTFE and Alumina Composites: It is All About Tribochemistry

Over the last decade, researchers have explored an intriguing polymer composite composed of granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) 7C and alumina particles. This material is extraordinary because a very small amount of alumina additive (
