Polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE), tough, waxy, non-flammable synthetic resin produced by the polymerization of
tetrafluroethylene. Now a day’s pure PTFE is widely used as bearing material and many such applications which is
subjected to high wear rate, which can be reduced by adding suitable fillers. Also the effect of varying load, sliding
distance, sliding velocity and filler content on wear in PTFE are studied. Experimentally, In this case there is an
analysis of three composites (PTFE + 35% C, PTFE + 35% Glass, PTFE + 35% Bronze) is present showing how
properties of PTFE can be improved by the addition of filler content. The results of experiment are presented in the
table which proved that the wear is strongly influenced by the composition of filler content.
