  • COMPOSITIONS HAVING IMPROVED TRIBOLOGICAL PROPERTIES, METHODS OF MANUFACTURE THEREOF AND ARTICLES COMPRISING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20170022331
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition comprising a crosslinked organic polymer; wherein the composition has a coefficient of friction that is in a range of ±30% of a coefficient of friction for a composition comprising the same organic polymer that is not crosslinked; and wherein the composition has a lower K factor than a K factor of the composition comprising the same organic polymer that is not crosslinked; the coefficient of friction and the K factor being measured in a thrust washer apparatus as per ASTM D-3702, where the counter stationary surface in the thrust washer apparatus comprises carbon steel having a Rockwell C hardness of 18 to 22 and a 12 to 16 micro-inch surface finish.
    Type: Application
