Abstract

This chapter discusses the wear of polymers. It examines the phenomenon of polymer wear during external friction. Wear is significantly more complicated than external friction; it is the result of a combination of physico-chemical processes that take place on polymer friction surfaces and boundary layers. By the nature of its basic process, polymer wear can be tentatively divided into fatigue and abrasive (micro-cutting). Rubbery polymers also wear out as a result of the process of roll formation. The relationship among wear criteria, physico-mechanical indicators, and external parameters is determined by the wear mechanism within the framework of the established theory of wear. The criteria of wear one has noted are relative characteristics, because they do not take into account the effects of time, velocity, pressure and other parameters on the magnitude of wear.
