Primary source
Wear investigation of PTFE, PEEK and UHMWPE-based reciprocating shaft seal materials with lunar/Martian regolith simulants
Review state
needs review
Microscopic images and EDX analysis revealed that the finer lunar simulant penetrated the seal/shaft interface more effectively than the coarser Martian regolith, resulting in greater wear.
