Popis: The tribological properties of poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK) against steel was evaluated by a ring-on-flat type tribo-test under rotating motion. Addition of poly(tetrafluoroethlene) (PTFE) as solid lubricants improved the load-carrying capacity of the material. The role of PTFE was studied by means of time of flight secondary ion mass spectroscopy (TOF-SIMS). The transfer of PTFE from the PEEK surface onto steel surface was found to be beneficial for preventing seizure.
