  Abstract

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/Kevlar fabric has been widely used in functional fabric composites applied to wear-resistant lining. In this study, the fabric sprayed PTFE and paste a PTFE film have been compared, the scheme for PTFE coating has been optimized showing the friction coefficient of 0.091. The tribological properties of hybrid PTFE/Kevlar fabric were studied, showing that the best blending ratio of 1:3, weave structure of twill 2/1, and present outstanding wear resistance at loads of 7350 Pa by fabric abrasion tester. Besides, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was conduct to reveal the wear mechanism. The results show that the wear process of PTFE/Kevlar fabric can be divided into two stages: bond wear and fatigue wear. The investigation of the tribological properties of fabric has significant impact on the application of anti-friction and wearable materials in heavy loading machinery equipment and aerospace industry.
