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

This paper aims to make a direct comparison between the bending under tension test and the sheet metal forming of a test piece to see if the friction coefficient reported by the test is able to ...

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 ...

The estimation of head loss in pressurized conduits is a significant problem in optimization studies, hydraulic analysis of ducts, and water distribution systems (Bardestani et al., 2017). Therefore, ...

Similar morphogenetic patterns can be observed in the frilly edges of leaves, fungi, corals, or even torn plastic sheets ... as well as the friction coefficient at various positions on the ...

This is possible using an elasto-plastic friction model, which has previously succeeded in reproducing experimental data captured on a monochord setup. In this study, this elasto-plastic model is ...

Scientists are examining the effect on brain health of microplastics and one of the largest sources of microplastics: ultra-processed foods.

Some suggested that the 57-year-old's eye-catching earlobes - that appear to look 'stretched' towards her face - could've been the result of plastic surgery. According to plastic surgeon Mark ...

You’ll discover how the creator overcame issues like plastic-on-plastic friction and durability limitations by refining the design with innovative solutions, including custom crown gear profiles ...
