Leningrad, Chemistry, 1972. - 240 s. The book examines in detail the nature and various mechanisms of friction and wear, the effect on temperature friction, sliding speed, contact time, and t. p. Particular attention is paid to the relationship between the frictional properties of polymers and the features of the structure. Methods for determining friction coefficients in a wide range of pressures, velocities and temperatures. The principles of creation of new, including antifriction, polymeric materials with high strength and durability. The book is intended for a wide range of scientists, designers and process engineers of the chemical and engineering industries involved in the production, processing and use of polymeric structural materials. It will also be useful for teachers, graduate students and university students .
