T1 - PEEK- and PTFE- Based Composites for Tribology Applications in a Range between Liquid Helium and Room Temperature JF - Key engineering materials N2 - This study deals with the development of PEEK (polyehteretherketone) and PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) based composites, optimized for low friction and low wear performance under extreme environments. It is demonstrated that the incorporation of a harder polymer component into PTFE (such as PEEK particles), a short fiber reinforcement (e.g. carbon fibers CF), and internal lubricants (e.g. PTFE particles), helps to reduce the friction and to improve the wear resistance over a very wide temperature range.
