Abstract: Efficient storage of hydrogen is crucial for the widespread adoption of renewable energy. Reciprocatingpiston compressors, featuring advanced sealing solutions, are essential to meet the stringent demands ofnon-lubricated hydrogen applications, ensuring gas purity and high pressure differentials. Polyphenylenesulfide polymer matrix composites exhibit high mechanical strength and low friction and wear, making themvaluable in tribological applications. This study investigates carbon fiber reinforced polyphenylene sulfidemodifications with different PTFE contents by employing advanced imaging techniques to assess the effect ofdry-lubricant on properties with respect to application in high-pressure reciprocating compressors. Thermo-mechanical and tribological testing, along with microstructure analysis utilizing synchrotron tomography,presents the importance of dry lubricating PTFE additives. Furthermore, the research provides insightsinto the micromechanical deformation behavior of short fiber reinforced polymers and identifies promisingcompositions suitable for advanced hydrogen compression.
