  • Specifics in tribological investigation of polymers [Elektronski vir]
    Kalin, Mitjan
    Polymer materials are getting ever more attention in various applications due to their low weight, low cost, suitability for mass production, and several other beneficial specific properties, often ... also tribological. During tribological research real-scale studies or model contact-based studies can be selected. Each of them has some positive and some negative sides. However, for contact-based studies, which are more common, several restrictions holds for polymers, which are valid due to polymer low thermal resistance and mechanical strength, at least compared to conventional metals. Namely, the contact loads and temperatures have relatively narrow window of appropriateness to lead to relevant results, suitable for transfer into real application. Therefore, in order to be able to perform the experiments under these conditions, real contact area and real contact temperatures should be known and controlled. This paper presents some of the above discussed specifics and discusses possible ways how to overcome them, primarily addressing necessary future research directions to better control polymer tribology research.
