Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	This invention relates generally to cable assemblies, and more particularly to flexible cable assemblies of the type used in automobiles for transmitting rotary or linear motion along a predetermined path. In a particular aspect, the present invention relates to abrasion-resistant fluorocarbon polymer composites, such as polytetrafluoroethylene ("PTFE") composites, having an unexpectedly high frictional efficiency under high load conditions and after long cycle times. The present invention relates to abrasion-resistant, anti-friction tubing formed from such composites, and to uses of such tubing as a liner for flexible, motion transmitting cable assemblies.
