This study employed a high-speed rotating crushing process to modify pyrolyzed carbon black (CBp) using self-lubricating and low-friction polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). The effects of PTFE content on the dispersion, mechanical properties, wear resistance, and thermal stability of modified PTFE-CBp/natural rubber (NR) composites were investigated. The rotating crushing process from the high-speed grinder altered the physical structure of PTFE, forming tiny fibrous structures that interspersed among the CBp particles. This arrangement encouraged the alignment of CBp particles in specific directions and improved the surface activity of CBp, enhancing the dispersion of CBp within the NR matrix and consequently improving wear resistance. The experimental results indicated that as the amount of PTFE fibers increased, the hardness, wear resistance, and thermal stability of the PTFE-CBp/NR composite significantly improved. Compared to untreated CBp/NR composites, the hardness, modulus at 300%, and wear resistance of the 3 phr PTFE-CBp/NR composites increased by 20%, 24%, 21%, respectively, achieving the preparation of highly wear-resistant CBp/NR composites.

Silicone rubber (SR) holds significant potential for everyday wearable devices due to its inherent sweat resistance and flexibility. However, its broader applicability is constrained by poor oil resistance and a suboptimal slip performance. In this study, we developed an SR with durable oil resistance and enhanced slip properties by forming a covalently bonded barrier layer on its surface through a one-step in situ fluorination reaction using F/N.

CAM/CAD composites are widely used as dental restoration materials due to their resistivity to wear. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of human gingival fibroblast cells on three different computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) hybrid materials with resin-based composites (RBC) and to assess their stability following cell growth. The CAM/CAD dental materials were investigated in different conditions as follows: (i) cells (human gingival fibroblasts, HFIB-Gs) incubated over the material for each sample, denoted as A; (ii) reference, the raw material, denoted as B; and (iii) materials incubated in DMEM medium, denoted as C.

Solid-liquid lubrication systems have been widely used to enhance tribological behaviors. Alongside offering exceptional lubrication and wear-resistance performance, the active control of the tribological behavior of lubrication systems in accordance with service conditions is equally critical. To achieve this goal, accurately monitoring the condition of the lubrication system is fundamental.
