A polymer trilayer (sandwiched) film with a thickness of 20–30 nm has been designed to serve as a wear resistant nanoscale coating for silicon surfaces. These surface structures are formed by a multiple grafting technique applied to self-assembled monolayers (SAM) and functionalized tri-block copolymer, followed by the photopolymerization of a topmost polymer layer. The unique design of this la...

Huntite (CaMg3(CO3)4) is a calcium magnesium carbonate mineral and in the dolomite group. Although studies on Huntite's flame retardant raw material feature stand out, it used paint industry, industrial sectors such as plastics, pol-ymers, special rubbers, pharmaceuticals. In this study, experiments were carried out by producing brake pad samples different mixing ratios from huntite glass fiber...

We report on memory effects involved in the unsteady-state frictional response of a contact interface between silicone rubber and spherical glass probe when it is perturbed by changes orientation driving motion or velocity steps. From measurements displacement fields at interface, we show that observed can be accounted for non-uniform distribution sliding within interface. As consequence these ...

The dynamics of fluid flow at the interface between elastic solids with rough surfaces depends sensitively on the area of real contact, in particular close to the percolation threshold, where an irregular network of narrow flow channels prevails. In this paper, numerical simulation and experimental results for the contact between elastic solids with isotropic and anisotropic surface roughness a...

in this article the transient heat transfer in rubber parts has been studied. this study is usefull for estimation of the minimum curing time of the rubber parts and thereby to ensure the quality of the rubber. also is the temperature distribution during the rubber curing is well know, then the curing time could accurately be estimated, which will lead to a better curing process. in this regard...
