In order to improve tribological properties of polyoxymethylene (POM), the effects of aramid short fibers (ASF) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) solid lubricants, as two classes of additives, were studied. The appropriate composites of the polymer and the additives were prepared by melt mixing pro...
