Graphene nanoplatelets (Gr) as fillers for alloy composite coatings has increased due to their remarkable high aspect ratio and distinctive plate-like structure. Piping, condensers and heat exchangers in seawater systems, ...

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) exhibit outstanding physical properties, including high thermal conductivity, excellent mechanical strength, and low electrical resistivity, which make them suitable candidates for a ...

Polymer-based ball bearings have emerged as a replacement for metal-based bearings in certain applications. They have recently gained attention due to their low weight-to-strength ratio, self-lubrication properties, and ...

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is widely used in tribological applications. However, its usage in the ball-bearing application has not been explored. The present study investigates the usage of PTFE composites for deep ...

As the power requirements of industrial and electronic equipment continue to increase, thermal management is becoming more and more important. BHT, or pool boiling heat transfer, is acknowledged as an effective technique ...

Tribological characterization was carried out in part 1 of the paper on pure PTFE (PTFE) and 25% carbon-filled PTFE (CR25) polymers through the ball-on-disc test to determine the suitability of the material for ball-bearing ...
