Description
Summary:Current research into the friction transfer mechanism and self-lubrication of polymers is analyzed. The main theoretical and experimental results that characterize friction transfer quantitatively and qualitatively are discussed. Analytical models based on the molecular-mechanical theory of friction and the adhesion-energetic mechanism of friction transfer are used to find the basic tribological characteristics of metal-polymer friction units. The nature of mass transfer is considered with account for the effect of the material composition, structure, and surface topography, and some other parameters of the transfer kinetics.
