Abstract

High-friction materials with low adhesion are used in non-slip surfaces for goods packaging and secure goods transportation. In this study, a poly(styrene-co-butyl methacrylate) latex is coated on paper and the static friction and adhesion are measured on a macroscale with varying resting times. Furthermore, the relationship between static friction and contact load is investigated. Results show that the static friction decreases logarithmically with an increasing load and both the static friction and adhesion were determined to be increasing logarithmically with resting time and linearly with temperature. Based on this study, it was possible to closely correlate glass transition temperature of the polymer latex with macroscale friction and adhesion properties.
