Polymer mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

The effect of the viscoelastic properties of polymers on the formation of the actual contact area is analyzed with reference to a rod model of the rough surface. The proposed time dependence of the actual contact area has been verified experimentally by an optical method for surfaces with different finishes (▽ 4, ▽ 8) and for different materials (polycaprolactam, polypropylene).
