This chapter deals with the development of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)-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 (CFs)) and internal lubricants (e.g. PTFE particles) helps to reduce the friction and to improve the wear resistance over a very wide temperature range.
The polymer chemical structure of the polyimide has a major influence on the tribological behaviour. The addition of graphite in PI2 has a beneficial effect in hydrogen on the friction and wear. The low friction of graphite is associated with a lubricant film in hydrogen. The influence of hydrogen on graphite is more effective than humidity. CNTs have a similar effect to that of graphite in PEEK composites. TiO2 particles improve significantly the wear rate both in vacuum and hydrogen environment. In LH2 friction and wear decrease for unfilled polymers. Friction of graphite filled composites increases slightly and wear rate is stable.
