Minsk, Science and Technology, 1976, 432 pp. The monograph highlights the current state of the theory of friction and wear of polymer-based materials. Particular attention is paid to the physico-chemical processes accompanying the formation and destruction of frictional bonds in metal-polymer systems. Calculation schemes are proposed for assessing the friction parameters of metal-polymer systems. New methods of directional regulation of structure and frictional properties of metal-polymer materials are discussed. Designed for scientific and engineering workers involved in the creation of. and operation of new materials and structures based on polymers.
