The mixture powder of Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) and graphite was blended into nitrile–butadiene rubber (NBR) to be modified to develop a new kind of compound water lubricated rubber bearing with cost-effective, low-friction performance. In order to study the tribological and...
