Predicting Wear From Mechanical Properties of Thermoplastic Polymers
نویسندگان
چکیده
The wear of polymer-based materials is connected to their brittleness. We have previously formulated a quantitative definition of brittleness in terms of elongation at break and storage modulus for thermoplastic polymers. We provide a formula connecting brittleness to viscoelastic recovery (healing) after sliding wear. Our model fits a selection of ten thermoplastics representing several classes of polymers with different chemical structures and mechanical properties. Now including polyvinylidene fluoride, poly(methylmethacrylate), and polyphenylsulfone, we demonstrate that from our formula we can predict the percentage recovery in sliding wear from our measure of brittleness.

A comparative study of the wear resistance of thermoplastic and thermoset coatings
Thermoset and thermoplastic polymeric materials are used as coatings on the bore of downhole tubulars such as water injectors in the oil industry. Previous work has indicated that such coatings can fail by impact damage and by abrasion from the wire used to lower inspection tools down the tubular. The wire is commonly called “slickline” and the type of wear is called “wireline wear”. However, t...

متن کاملA new type of clear orthodontic retainer incorporating multi-layer hybrid materials
Clear thermoplastic retainers have been widely used in daily orthodontics; however, they have inherent limitations associated with thermoplastic polymer materials such as dimensional instability, low strength, and poor wear resistance. To solve these problems, we developed a new type of clear orthodontic retainer that incorporates multi-layer hybrid materials. It consists of three layers; an ou...
متن کاملOverview of Flax Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites
Flax fibres are oftenly used for reinforcing thermoplastic to manufacture biocomposite materials exhibiting numerous advantages such as high mechanical properties, low density and biodegradability. The mechanical properties of a biocomposite material depends on the nature and orientation of the fibres, the nature of the matrix and mainly on the adhesion between fiber and the polymer matrix. The...
