4. Correlation between wear rate and mechanical properties of polymers

4.1 Abrasive wear, hardness and fracture properties

According to the analysis in paragraph 3.1 , the wear rate of a material sliding on a hard, very rough antagonist, i.e. under conditions described as abrasion, should, to a first approximation, be inversely proportional to its hardness. During transient contact with a...
