Abstract
This paper reviews the use of Raman spectroscopy for investigations in poly mer tribology, In particular, a number of studies dealing with the problem of surface plasticisation in engineering polymers have been reported and ar e reviewed in this paper, Solvent and thermally-induced plasticisation have been examined using Raman spectroscopy, The polymers poly(ether ether keto ne), nylon and polycarbonate have been investigated and are discussed here, (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd.
