A Multiscale Approach to Friction On Surfaces of Polymeric Solids and in Bulk Polymeric Materials

Abstract

Friction models of polymers must be considered in terms of specific microstructures, specific friction mechanisms and different scales on external surfaces of polymeric solids and inside the polymeric materials. Presented friction models take into account: evolution of surface microstructures, friction anisotropy and heterogeneity on surfaces of polymeric solids, micromechanical models of macromolecules, friction anisotropy in bulk polymeric materials
