Modern self-lubricating plastics contain tiny solid particles like graphite or PTFE mixed throughout the material. These particles continuously migrate to the surface as the plastic wears, creating a fresh lubricating layer without any oil or grease. You can find these materials in things like drawer slides, car door hinges, and even artificial joints, where adding liquid lubricant would be messy or impossible. They offer maintenance-free operation for years in applications where traditional oils would collect dust or leak away.
