Abstract
Rubber and other elastomers play an important role in many tribological applications. They are used where large frictional forces are demanded. In particular, they find applications as materials for tires, feed rollers (e.g. in printers), sports shoes, seals, rubber bands, and materials in electronic devices (e.g. keyboard contacts), as well as adhesive fixtures.
