S. Kaang et al., FRICTION AND WEAR OF RUBBER COMPOUNDS CONTAINING POWDERED POLYNORBORNENE VULCANIZATE, Journal of polymer engineering, 18(1-2), 1998, pp. 83-100
An investigation on the frictional performance of a natural rubber com
pound containing polynorbornene (PN) vulcanizate powder was carried ou
t at various temperatures between -20 degrees C and 60 degrees C. The
glass transition temperature, T-g of the PN vulcanizate was 15 degrees
C, At temperatures below its T-g, the frictional coefficient of the c
omposite significantly increased to the extent of 10% with a 10 phr ad
dition of PN vulcanizate powder, while the wear rates were not greatly
affected. The wear behavior of the composite was strongly dependent o
n the frictional work input.
