A solid lubricated resistive ink includes solid lubricants which provide self-lubrication of the resistive ink under high vacuum and low moisture conditions. The resistive inks include a polymer-based binder and an electrically conductive solid lubricant which remains electrically conductive and lubricative under low moisture and high vacuum. Effective lubricants include MoSe.sub.2, NbSe.sub.2 graphite intercalated with bromine and graphite intercalated with a metal chloride. The resistive ink may additionally include carbon.

Solid lubricated resistive ink for potentiometers

Solid self-lubricating composites comprising carbon or graphite fiber preforms reinforced with high temperature resins and self-lubricating pigments are disclosed which withstand very high loads at very high temperatures.

High load carrying polyimide lubricative composites

Self-lubricating composites of high thermal stability, excellent frictional characteristics and wear resistance are formulated from molybdenum disulfide, tungsten disulfide, molybdenum diselenide and thermosetting acetylene-substituted polyimide oligomers.
