Polymers are viscoelastic fluids that are either elastic or viscous, depending on how fast they flow or deformation in the process. The viscoelastic phenomenon, as shown in Figure 1, can be easily ...

Polymer bearings incorporating a PTFE-based running surface were viewed as a step forward in scroll compressor performance when they were initially introduced around three decades ago. These polymer ...
