The Coefficient Of Friction

Abstract The effects of vulcanizate and slider surface free energy—as well as the adhesion force (P) between them—on friction the force (F) and the coefficient of friction (μ) has been investigated. SBR and NBR vulcanizates were prepared using three molds differing in surface free energy. The mold with a high surface free energy gave a vulcanizate surface possessing polar groups. The mold with low surface energy gave a vulcanizate surface with many nonpolar groups. The coefficient of friction increased with the surface free energy of SBR and NBR vulcanizates. With SBR vulcanizate (surface free energy, 31.3 mJ·m−2) and teflon slider (surface free energy, 28.1 mJ·m−2) combination having the least surface free energy, the coefficient of friction was constant at greater than a 0.2N load. With vulcanizates and an aluminum slider with high surface free energy, friction force could be detected even at zero load because of the adhesion force at the interface. Friction force increased linearly with adhesion force between vulcanizates and sliders when the physical properties of the vulcanizates and net work chain density were constant. The present results clearly demonstrate the contribution of adhesion force to the friction of vulcanizates.

The Coefficient Of Friction

Tribological properties of several kinds of polyoxymethylene (POM) composites were evaluated for the purpose of developing a polymeric tribomaterial especially suited for mating with aluminum parts having low surface hardness. POM composites containing small amounts of silicon carbide (SiC), POM/SiC; those containing a small amount of calcium octacosanonoate besides SiC, POM/SiC/Ca-OCA; and the one blended with 24 wt % of polytetrafluoroethylene, POM/PTFE(24); were injection-molded into pin specimens and their tribological properties were tested by means of a pin-on-disk type wear apparatus using an aluminum (A5056) mating disk in comparison with a 303 stainless steel (SUS303) disk. Evaluation was focused on observation of the sliding surfaces of the pin specimens and the mating disks by a scanning electron microscope and an optical microscope together with the measurement of surface roughness. In the case of mating against a SUS303 disk having high surface hardness, all pin specimens did not roughen the disk surfaces even after long time of rubbing. Only POM/PTFE(24) composite obviously made a transfer film on the disk surface, while the other composites made an extremely thin one on it. POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, containing SiC 0.1 wt. % and Ca-OCA 1 wt. %, was found to show the lowest coefficient of friction and the lowest wear rate forming extremely thin transfer film on the mating disk. On the other hand, against an A5056 disk which has lower surface hardness than that of SUS303 disk, unfilled POM and POM composites except POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite roughened the disk surfaces. However, the sliding surface of the A5056 disk rubbed with POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite was significantly smoother and that of the pin specimen was also quite smooth in comparison with other pin specimens. Further, when each POM composite was rubbed against the A5056 disk, formation of transfer film was not obvious on the disk surfaces. For POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, the wear rate was the lowest of all POM composites, and the coefficient of friction was as low level as 60 percent of that of unfilled POM, but slightly higher than that of POM/PTFE(24) composite. For POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite, the nucleating effect of SiC and Ca-OCA, which accelerated the crystallization of POM during its injection molding to form a matrix containing fine spherulites, must have resulted in increasing the toughness of the matrix and lowering the wear rate. Also, the lubricant effect of Ca-OCA should have lowered the coefficient of friction of the same matrix for rubbing against aluminum mating disk. POM/SiC(0.1)/Ca-OCA(1) composite was concluded as an excellent tribomaterial for mating with aluminum parts.

Frictional Behaviour

A study is made of the frictional behaviour of crystals (diamond, magnesium oxide, sapphire) sliding on themselves in high vacuum (10 -10 torr). The surface films normally present on these crystals are very tenacious but they may be worn away by repeated sliding in the same track. Under these conditions the friction of the clean crystals may increase by a factor of ten so that the coefficient of friction may rise to μ ≈ 1. The frictional rise is limited because of the elastic and brittle behaviour of the contact regions. Under these conditions subsurface deformation and fracture of the crystal occurs and this, combined with the high surface adhesion, causes pronounced wear. Adsorption of a few molecular layers of gas can again reduce the friction to a low value. The results are relevant to the operation of bearings and to the wear of surfaces in space.

The Coefficient Of Friction

The friction on ice of some small inflated rubber tires was measured on a turntable in a cold room. When rolling-friction force was plotted against load, the relation was either linear or slightly curved away from the load axis; such curvature implies that Thirion's Law does not hold for rolling friction. On the other hand when sliding-friction force was plotted against load the curvature was toward the load axis as would be expected if Thirion's Law applied. The coefficient of friction can go as low as 0.01 or even lower for a hard-pumped tire when the temperature is near 0 °C, but at −1 °C. rolling friction on dry ice is quite appreciable. The results refer only to measurements at very slow speed.

Blends of two polymer, namely chitosan with silk fibroin or partially hydrolysed polyacrylamide (HPAM) were prepared. The surface properties of chitosan/silk fibroin and chitosan/HPAM blended films were investigated using the technique of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and by means of contact angle measurements allowing the calculation of surface free energy. Measurements of the contact angle for diiodomethane (D), and glycerol (G) on the surface of chitosan films and chitosan/silk fibroin films were made and surface free energy was calculated. It was found that chitosan/silk fibroin blend surface is enriched in high surface energy component i.e. silk fibroin. The surface roughness of chitosan, silk fibroin, HPAM, chitosan/silk fibroin and chitosan/HPAM blended films differs with the composition of the blend. Film-forming polymeric blends can be potentially used as biomaterials and cosmetic materials.

The relationship between atomic force microscopy probe-sample adhesion force and relative humidity (RH) at five different levels of surface free energy (γs) of an organic self-assembled monolayer (SAM) has been investigated. Different γs levels were achieved by exposing a patterned SiO2/CH3-terminated octyldimethylchlorosilane SAM sample to an ultraviolet (UV)/ozone atmosphere. A model consisting of the Laplace-Kelvin theory for capillary condensation for nanosized probe and probe-sample molecular interaction was derived to describe the adhesion force as a function of RH from 25 to 90% for different SAM γs values. The equations were solved analytically by using an equivalent curvature of the probe tip shape. Experimental results show that the adhesion force increases slightly with RH for nonpolar SAM. However, for polar SAM surfaces, it increases at first, reaches a maximum, and then decreases. Both the rate of increase and the maximum of the adhesion force with humidity are γs-dependent, which is in good agreement with theoretical prediction. The large rise in the adhesion force in this RH range is due to the capillary force.

AbstractWhy can beetles such as the ladybird beetle Coccinella septempunctata walk vertically or upside-down on a smooth glass plane? Intermolecular and/or capillary forces mediated by a secretion fluid on the hairy footpads have commonly been considered the predominant adhesion mechanism. However, the main contribution of physical phenomena to the resulting overall adhesive force has yet to be experimentally proved, because it is difficult to quantitatively analyse the pad secretion which directly affects the adhesion mechanism. We observed beetle secretion fluid by using inverted optical microscopy and cryo-scanning electron microscopy, which showed the fluid secretion layer and revealed that the contact fluid layer between the footpad and substrate was less than 10–20 nm thick, thus indicating the possibility of contribution of intermolecular forces. If intermolecular force is the main physical phenomenon of adhesion, the force will be proportional to the work of adhesion, which can be described by the sum of the square roots of dispersive and polar parts of surface free energy. We measured adhesion forces of ladybird beetle footpads to flat, smooth substrates with known surface free energies. The adhesive force was proportional to the square-root of the dispersive component of the substrate surface free energy and was not affected by the polar component. Therefore, intermolecular forces are the main adhesive component of the overall adhesion force of the ladybird beetle. The footpads adhere more strongly to surfaces with higher dispersive components, such as wax-covered plant leaves found in the natural habitat of ladybird beetles. Based on the present findings, we assume ladybird beetles have developed this improved performance as an adaptation to the variety of plant species in its habitat.

Tests were carried out on a brake lining damper intended to dissipate energy between parts of a structure having relative motion during earthquake attack. The device operates by the sliding of a steel plate clamped against a brake lining. Hysteresis loops for the damper showed peaks for the breakaway friction force, when the value of the force was up to twice that obtained for continuous movement. Also values of the coefficient of friction derived from the test were lower than those quoted elsewhere. Further testing is required prior to the use of the method in structures.
