Publisher: Elsevier Science Print ISBN: 9780444874450, 0444874453 eText ISBN: 9780444874450, 9780080875804, 0080875807 Pages: 361 Format: PDF Available from $ 72.95 USD SKU 9780444874450 This book presents a thorough overview on workable theories and reliable experimental data on the use of plastic materials for sliding parts. Divided into four parts. Chapters 1 and 2 deal with current theories of friction and wear, and include discussion of various hypotheses based upon experimental studies. Chapter 3 details experiments designed to improve tribological performance via polymer blending and composite production, whilst Chapter 4 explains how the data obtained from these experiemnts can be applied to sliding machine parts. The work will prove useful in the design of plastic materials and components and will also provide a stepping-stone toward future innovations in this field.
