Notes:
The technologically important studies on rubber friction and wear give strong support to rubber friction being a viscoelastic phenomenon. However, the basic concepts and conclusions derived from such studies appear to have general validity. Fiber-to-fiber friction studies are carried out on a number of polymeric flaments with a view to establishing the relationships between fundamental mechanical properties such as modulus, tan δ, and the coefficient of friction. The relationship between these three quantities is expressed by an equation. The results show that with these fibers adhesive contribution to friction is negligible and that temperature and humidity variations in end uses have a much more important effect in frictional properties than changes in draw ratio, heat setting, and so on.
