Development of Self-lubricating Polymeric Composites Based on PTFE

Abstract

Results of investigation of developed antifriction composites on the basis of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are presented. These composites were obtained with utilizing of mineral engine oil of M-8V brand. It has been developed several techniques for obtaining of oil-containing composites depending on the method of introducing liquid engine oil into the volume of the polymer composite. Activated natural zeolites are used as fillers, which in this case play the role not only of solid-state structurally active fillers, but as additives that intensify the process of oil absorption.
