Presented at the POLYCON-2014, 6th National Conferences on Advances in Polymeric Materials [Energy, Environment Health] (NCAPM), Mysore, India, 25-26 April 2014. ABSTRACT Thermoplastic copolyester elastomer (TCE) and Polyoxymethylene (POM) filled polytetrafluroethylene (PTFE) composite, reinforced with short glass fiber (SGF) and different shape microfillers such as short carbon fiber (SCF), silicon carbide (SiC) and alumina (Al O ) were prepared by melt mixing method using twin scre w 2 3 extruder followed by injection moulding. Mechanical properties such as tensile, flexural and impact strengths were studied. The mechanical properties test results show that short glass fiber obviously improves the strength of TCE and POM filled PTFE composites
