TY - JOUR A1 - Theiler, Geraldine A1 - Gradt, Thomas T1 - Friction and wear of PEEK composites in vacuum environment JF - Wear N2 - The sliding performance of PEEK composites was investigated in vacuum environment. Tests were performed with carbon fibre reinforced PEEK composites filled with PTFE, and MoS2 or graphite as further solid lubricant. Polymer samples were tested in a pin-on-disc configuration continuously sliding against CrNi-steel. Depending on sliding speed and temperature, the MoS2 filled composites showed high wear resistance and friction coefficients as low as PVD coatings.
