Synchronously improved thermal conductivity and tribological performance of self-lubricating fabric liner composites via integrated design method with copper yarn

The introduction of functional fillers is very important for enhancing the thermal conductivity and tribological performance of self-lubricating fabric liner composites. In present work, copper yarn was woven into hybrid Nomex/PTFE fabric via an integrated design method to fabricate self-lubricating fabric liner composites. Characterizations using thermal conductivity analyzer and tensile testing machine demonstrated that the copper...
