Polyoxymethylene (POM) is a resistant polymer with wide applications in aerospace, automotives, and biomedicine. However, it falls short when used in the manufacturing of sliding parts. In this study, copper particles and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) powder were incorporated into POM to improve the thermal conductivity of ...
Polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were prepared by using varying concentrations of copper particles and tested thermally via tribologically via an M-2000 friction and abrasion testing machine. A copper concentration below 10 wt.% didn't affect the thermal properties of the POM composite but using higher concentrations resulted in ...
