Abstract
Poly tetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a versatile engineering plastic. It has excellent chemical and water resistance, moderate mechanical and thermal properties, superior electrical insulation properties with low coefficient of friction. As the virgin PTFE is having low wear creep resistance and low load bearing capacity, the different fillers are incorporated into PTFE to improve these properties.
