Friction coefficient, electric conduction

Physico-Chemical Properties. The industrial applications of chrysotile fibers were developed taking advantage of their particular combination of properties fibrous morphology, high tensile strength, resistance to heat and corrosion, low electrical conductivity, and high friction coefficient In many applications, the surface properties of the fibers also play an important role in such cases, a distinction between chrysotile and amphiboles can be...

SiC-BN composites show good thermal conductivity. The electrical resistivity depends on the BN content and can be adjusted from a few Q/cm to more than 1010 Q/cm. When the SiC content of the composites is high, the composites can be used as cutting tools [135]. BN additions reduce the friction coefficient. Thus these composites are used for sliding parts [136],... 

Subject to this complication, the friction properties of the group are generally similar to those of molybdenum disulphide. The actual coefficients of friction vary with load, speed, temperature and humidity, but some reported figures are shown in Table 14.6. The chemical properties are also similar to those of molybdenum disulphide. They are resistant to attack by water, alkalis and most acids, but are attacked by aqua regia and hot concentrated hydrochloric, nitric or sulphuric acids. The most significant differences are in their electrical conductivity and their oxidation resistance. 

From a quantitative study of the effect of lubricating oils in static generation by yams, the role of dynamic coefficient of friction was compared with that of electrical conductivity (85). In order to avoid static difficulties in yam processing, the yams must have a low coefficient of friction and, more importantly, have the highest possible conductivity. Whatever the coefficient of friction may be, the voltage approaches zero if the conductivity becomes high enough (85). 

In these equations, /c j- is the thermal conductivity coefficient, k is the electrical conductivity, C is a frictional coefficient related to the viscosity, and D is the diffusion coefficient. 

The remaining acceleration and friction parts are usually neglected (but see Rem. 33 below). While barodiffusion emerges rather by the choice of independent variables in (4.511), the forced diffusion explains the sedimentation (e.g. in centrifugal fields) and electrical conductivity. Note, that these three types of diffusions are described by only one type of the phenomenological coefficient Lsp (as the difference from thermodiffusion with special coefficient Lsq). 

Electronics. Owing to its relatively high electrical conductivity, low friction coefficient, and extremely high resistance to corrosion, gold metal is critically important in microelectrical circuitry, particularly in printed circuit boards, connectors, keyboard contactors, and miniaturized circuitry. 

Polyethylene is one of the most widely used thermoplastics, due to its good properties such as excellent chemical inertness, toughness, low coefficient of friction and low electrical conductivity It can be used as pipes, sheets, containers as well as wire and cable applications because of its low electrical conductivity. Thus, PE composites can be used in many applications such as packaging, electrical, thermal energy storage, automotive applications, biomedical and space applications [1-8].
