In these cases, the plastic parts may deform under load due to creep prior to experiencing significant sliding wear. Tribological variables such as coefficient of friction and wear rate are ...

and graphene nanosheets and then prepare the polypropylene/coir fiber biocomposites. As compared with unmodified coir fibers, graphene decorated coir fibers can remarkably reduce the friction and wear ...

Department of Polymer Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Tomas Bata University in Zlin, Vavreckova 5669, 760 01 Zlin, Czech Republic ...

Yamaguchi used a sensor that can simultaneously measure vertical and horizontal forces to determine the coefficient of friction. The coefficient is calculated by dividing the force of the sliding ...

PET is used for cam profiles, wear strips, and timing parts where dimensional stability and low friction are essential for precise motion control.

Wells Enterprises, Inc. is recalling more than 16,000 gallons of its ice cream and frozen yogurt products due to potential contamination with plastic, according to the U.S. Food and Drug ...

The Le Mars-based company pulled the flavors due to concerns of plastic being introduced into the product during its preparation. The following flavors of ice cream were recalled. All items are in ...

We previously described single-state friction models that are based on elasto-plastic presliding, something that reduces drift while preserving the favorable properties of existing models (e.g., ...

China has imposed anti-dumping duties, reaching up to 75%, on plastic imports originating from the United States, European Union, Taiwan, and Japan. This decision follows an investigation by ...

Clariant announced the launch of its new AddWorks PPA product line, a new generation of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl ...
