Abstract
Results are given from studies on sets of pairs which have a coefficient of friction below 0.1 at medium specific loads and low rates of relative slippage. It is shown that this may be accomplished by using materials with different chemical structures in the pair, for example, Teflon and low-density polyethylene, or a self-lubricating material, for example oil-impregnated modified wood in a pair with a polymeric counterbody.
