| Abstract: | Ultra‐high‐molecular‐weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) fiber was treated to reinforce the polytetrafluoroethylene/polyoxymethylene (PTFE/POM), and the mechanical properties of surface‐treated UHMWPE were investigated. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to study the fracture surfaces of UHMWPE/POM/PTFE composites. Experimental results showed that the surface treatment of UHMWPE fiber effectively improves the mechanical property of POM/PTFE composites. Scanning electron microscopy studies indicated that surface modification could improve the interfacial adhesion of POM/PTFE composites. And the dispersion of UHMWPE in POM/PTFE composites was also improved after the surface modification. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
