Abstract
Plain-woven carbon fiber-filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) composites w ere fabricated by radiation-crosslinking under selective conditions. High m echanical and frictional properties are found in the composite materials co mpared with crosslinked PTFE without fiber. The composite materials with op tional shapes, which are laminated after electron beam (EB) crosslinking tr eatment of each mono-layer could also be fabricated. (C) 2001 Elsevier Scie nce Ltd.
