Mechanical Response of PTFE-based Nanocomposites

Abstract: Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), reinforced with Boron Carbide (B4C) and Molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) were prepared by Studying the various manufacturing processes and selecting the best suitable for Producing this Composite. Mechanical Properties such as Tension test, Compression test and Hardness (Shore hardness) were done and their results were studies accordingly. The Composition of (MoS2), Boron, and PTFE compounds were varied with different Percentages so as to get the Optimized Result for Tension Test, Compression test and Shore D Hardness.
