Polyvinyl chloride ultra high molecular weight

When polymers slide on machined metal surfaces, it is quite possible that steady-state wear Involves a combination of abrasive, fatigue, and adhesive wear mechanisms. To study fatigue wear, it would be desirable to minimize the contributions of the abrasive and adhesive wear modes. In this paper, the following polymers polycarbonate, polyvinyl chloride, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, siloxane modified epoxies, and polylmldes are tested in experiments in which the fatigue wear mode is predominant.

Two sets of experiments were performed. In the first set, three polymers with very different mechanical properties were chosen to determine their response to this experiment. Polycarbonate PC, rigid polyvinyl chloride PVC, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene UHMWPE, were loaded with 10, 8.5, and 7.2 N and tested at 0.04 m/s sliding speed. In these tests, the friction force was continuously... [Pg.60]
