Abstract

Measurements of the sliding friction of unvulcanised samples of various grades of epoxidised natural rubber have been made against steel over a wide range of speed and temperature. Some steel tracks were deliberately roughened to find what difference this caused. The effect of polymer blending on friction and the role that plasticisers can play in reducing the surface friction were investigated in relation to practical matters.
