Low cost seals are made of NBR, Nitrile Butadiene Rubber, a family of unsaturated copolymers that is higher resistant to oils the more content of nitrile have in its composition, although lower its flexibility. In Petroleum ...

High-performance binary blends between poly(ether imide) (PEI) and flame-retardant poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) are modified with 5, 10, and 15 wt% of poly(tetrafluoroethylene) (PTFE) using a two-step melt-processing ...

Films from blends of polyurethane and nano-polytetrafluoroethylene aqueous dispersions (PU/nanoPTFE) were prepared, and the effect of the addition of different amounts of PTFE nanoparticles (50 nm) was studied. The changes ...

The aim of this study is to identify how different conditions of contact pressure and sliding speed influence the tribological behavior of a PTFE composite. In order to compare their behavior, two different materials were ...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has excellent properties such as chemical inertness and useful mechanical properties at high and low temperatures. After melt, the PTFE viscosity is so high that the extrusion and injection ...

Several studies over the past few years have shown that electrodes coated with agglomerated PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) in air and wet underwater welding applications have good electric arc stability and low diffusible ...
