Ultra Low Friction Materials

根据SGER奖，将对超低摩擦进行研究 材料. 这项工作的前提是，非常顺利， 非常硬的材料表面，不会因 位错运动，通过开裂，或通过大的弹性 由于分子运动而产生的变形滞后可能 极低的摩擦力。 为了验证这一假设， 将寻求高度交联的、共价键合的弹性体 以及与它们的结合力有关的摩擦特性 结构

Under an SGER award a search will be made for ultra-low friction materials. The work is based on the premise that very smooth and very hard surfaces of materials which do not deform by dislocation movement, by cracking, or by large elastic deformation hysteresis due to molecular movement could have extremely low friction. To test this hypothesis a number of highly cross-linked, covalently bonded elastomers will be sought out and their frictional properties related to their bond structure.
