Abstract: A self-lubricating fabric contains warp yarns or weft yarns that are composite yarns formed from fluorinated resin yarns and other yarns. The surface area of the other yarns on one surface of the fabric takes up 0 to 30% of the total surface area of the composite yarns, and the ratio of the section diameter of the other yarns to the section diameter of the fluorinated resin yarns in the composite yarns is 0.12 to 0.80. A method for producing the self-lubricating fabric and use of the self-lubricating fabric are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a self-lubricating fabric, a method for producing the self-lubricating fabric, and use of the self-lubricating fabric. Warp yarns or weft yarns of the fabric are composite yarns formed from fluorinated resin yarns and other yarns. The surface area of the other yarns on one surface of the fabric takes up 0 to 30% of the total surface area of the composite yarns, and the ratio of the section diameter of the other yarns to the section diameter of the fluorinated resin yarns in the composite yarns is 0.12 to 0.80. The self-lubricating fabric is characterized by low friction coefficient, excellent wear resistance property and high laminating strength, as well as simple production process, low cost and zero pollution to the environment. The fabric with low friction coefficient can be applied to mechanical moving parts, and is especially suitable for use in environment of low speed, high load and high or low temperature.
