A drive assembly for a two-wheeled vehicle, wherein a closed chain is guided around a drive pinion and a sprocket for output. The chain is formed by pins, on each a bush rotatable about the center longitudinal axis of the pin, a roller provided on each bushing, for rotation around the bushing and has play, and the pins being connected to each other at two opposite ends by means of plates. The outer surface of the bushings and the rollers is coated with pure ta-C, having no further chemical elements except for unavoidable trace elements resulting from production in a PVD method. An R.sub.a roughness between 0.03 μm and 0.2 μm and/or an R.sub.z roughness between 0.3 μm and 2 μm is adhered to the surface of the coatings. The surfaces of the pinion and the sprocket in contact with the rollers do not have a coating of diamond-like carbon.

A polymeric material mixture comprising a fluorine-containing polymer, a siloxane polymer, and at least two polymer processing additives (PPA), wherein the at least two polymer processing additives have different chemistries. For example, there can be a flexible coextruded pipe for providing a protective housing for cables, fluids, sludge or solids, the pipe comprising a pair of telescopically related inner and outer layers, where said inner layer is lubricated with the polymeric material mixture.

A coating composition for producing an article is disclosed. The coating composition includes a blend of a polymer resin and a lubricating oil, wherein the coating composition is in a liquid-phase By using the coating composition, it is possible to produce the article which can be used in various industries, only with a simple process of molding and curing a polymer resin by the technique of the prior art.

A grease composition for resin lubrication, the grease composition to be applied to a sliding surface made of resin, the grease composition containing: a fluorine-based base oil (a kinematic viscosity at 40° C. of 300 mm.sup.2/s or higher) and a synthetic hydrocarbon oil as base oils; a fluorine-based thickener, and a lithium soap thickener or a lithium complex soap thickener as thickeners; and a fluorine-based surfactant and an extreme pressure additive as additives; and a resin sliding member (slide switch) having a sliding surface made of resin, the sliding surface provided by application with the grease composition.

A sliding member includes: a base material; a coating layer formed on the base material and made of a resin composition including: a binder resin including polyamideimide; PTFE dispersed in the binder resin; and at least one of graphite and MoS.sub.2 dispersed in the binder resin; wherein a surface roughness of the coating layer after a sliding test is equal to or less than the surface roughness of the coating layer before the sliding test.

A tribologically modified polyoxymethylene polymer composition is disclosed. The polyoxymethylene polymer composition is comprised of a polyoxymethylene polymer in combination with a tribological modifier system. The tribological modifier system may include the combination of a fluoropolymer with a high density polyethylene, such as an oxidized high density polyethylene. The particular formulation provides a synergistic blend of properties. For instance, the polymer composition not only has an excellent surface appearance when molded into articles but has excellent low friction characteristics when tested against aluminum.

Disclosed is a thin-wall bonded self-lubricating plate, the composite material structure thereof being composed of a surface self-lubricating layer, an intermediate bonding layer, and a metal backing layer. The surface self-lubricating layer includes polytetrafluoroethylene, ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene, etc. The surface self-lubricating layer thereof is thicker than an ordinary sintered self-lubricating material, thereby reducing vibration and prolonging the service life. Components, such as bushings, gaskets, sliding plates, composite bearings and other special-shaped members, made of the thin-wall bonded self-lubricating plate, have broad application prospects in low-speed rotation and relative sliding parts of vehicles, general machinery, office furniture, etc.
