Handbook of Polymer Tribology

Mechanical engineers and material scientists report on the tribology of bulk polymers, reinforced polymers, and polymeric coatings and surface modifications. Among their topics are in-situ observations to improve the analysis of the scratch damage of coated polymeric surfaces, polymer composites for tribological applications in a range between liquid helium and room temperature, self-lubricating and self-healing behavior of polymer matrix composites functionalized with microencapsulated chemicals, tribological studies of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene thin coatings on a silicon surface, and tribological aspects of polymer-based flexible electronic materials: from manufacturing to end-use applications.
