A polycarbonate resin based on a copolymer of bisphenol‐A and bisphenol‐trimethyl‐cyclohexanone was modified with a dispersion of PTFE powder and compared to a standard PTFE lubricated, general purpose BPA‐polycarbonate, PTFE is used to lower friction and wear rates in thermoplastics. Mechanicals, thermal properties, limiting PV behavior, and wear rate were measured and compared.
