Friction modification

Sulfuiized and sulfurchlorinated unsaturated compounds and meicaptans are used as lubricant additives (antiwear, friction modification, load-carrying, extreme pressure and temperature, corrosion inhibition, and antioxidants), refinery catalyst regeneration compounds, steel processing (annealing) aids, and vulcanization catalysts (see Lubrication and lubricants). 

Control of fiber friction is essential to the processing of fibers, and it is sometimes desirable to modify fiber surfaces for particular end-uses. Most fiber friction modifications are accomplished by coating the fibers with lubricants or finishes. In most cases, these are temporary treatments that are removed in final processing steps before sale of the finished good. In some cases, a more permanent treatment is desired, and chemical reactions are performed to attach different species to the fiber surface, e.g. siliconized slick finishes or rubber adhesion promoters. Polyester s lack of chemical bonding sites can be modified by surface treatments that generate free radicals, such as with corrosive chemicals (e.g. acrylic acid) or by ionic bombardment with plasma treatments. The broken molecular bonds produce more polar sites, thus providing increased surface wettability and reactivity.

Friction coefficients determined via the pin-on-disc or the more modern technique of Cameron-Plint machine depend on the friction between two smooth surfaces. The typical surface roughness is about 10-15 tim, and such techniques investigate friction modification as a function of ... 

A new type of calcium detergent chemistry has been described which has inbuilt friction modification [1]. Using an oscillating Cameron-Plint tribometer, this new class of additive lowers the friction coefficient of finished lubricating... 

Surface Friction and Adhesion. Control of fiber friction is essential to the processing of fibers, and it is sometimes desirable to modify fiber surfaces for particular end uses.

The second term within the brackets in Eq. 3-81 is the ratio of the change in stresses due to the presence of the particles (subscripted A) divided by the stresses normally present at the particular clean-air Reynolds number. This term will be defined as the friction modification term. Finally, recognizing the definition of at relatively dilute solids concentrations, Eq. 3-81 can be written as... 

The resins can be a novolak—hexa or a resole—novolak blend. In some appHcations Hquid resoles are used. Addition of alkylated phenol, oil, or cashew nutsheU Hquid (CNSL) reduces hardness and increases abrasion resistance. Modification by mbber improves the coefficient of friction and reduces brake fading. 

Surface Sizing. Surface sizing is generally used for modification of other properties of paper or paperboard such as printabiHty, smoothness, porosity, coefficient of friction, opacity, surface strength, anti-linting or coating holdout. Anionic starch is perhaps the most common additive or co-additive used for surface sizing. 

There is much interest and concern for noise/vibration-free brake systems and there is much activity toward friction couples having reduced noise/vibration properties. In addition to better noise insulators, brake modifications in the form of different materials, different designs, and improved friction materials formulations and/or processes are being developed and implemented. 

Yooi24) has proposed a simple modification to the Blasius equation for turbulent flow in a pipe, which gives values of the friction factor accurate to within about 10 per cent. The friction factor is expressed in terms of the Metzner and Reed(I8) generalised Reynolds number ReMR and the power-law index n. 

These results at the interfaces between the PVA gel and quartz surfaces, with and without modification by OTS, suggest that the weakly hydrogen bonded, that is, liquid-like , water plays an important role for the low friction at the PVA gel/quartz interface. 

Callisto orbits Jupiter at a distance of 1.9 million kilometres its surface probably consists of silicate materials and water ice. There are only a few small craters (diameter less than a kilometre), but large so-called multi-ring basins are also present. In contrast to previous models, new determinations of the moon s magnetic field suggest the presence of an ocean under the moon s surface. It is unclear where the necessary energy comes from neither the sun s radiation nor tidal friction could explain this phenomenon. Ruiz (2001) suggests that the ice layers are much more closely packed and resistant to heat release than has previously been assumed. He considers it possible that the ice viscosities present can minimize heat radiation to outer space. This example shows the complex physical properties of water up to now, twelve different crystallographic structures and two non-crystalline amorphous forms are known Under the extreme conditions present in outer space, frozen water may well exist in modifications with as yet completely unknown properties. 

All the relationships presented in Chapter 6 apply directly to circular pipe. However, many of these results can also, with appropriate modification, be applied to conduits with noncircular cross sections. It should be recalled that the derivation of the momentum equation for uniform flow in a tube [e.g., Eq. (5-44)] involved no assumption about the shape of the tube cross section. The result is that the friction loss is a function of a geometric parameter called the hydraulic diameter ... 

For example a polymer s interfacial characteristics determine chemical and physical properties such as permeability, wettability, adhesion, friction, wear and biocompatibility. " However polymers frequently lack the optimum surface properties for these applications. Consequently surface modification techniques have become increasingly desirable in technological applications of polymers. - ...
