| Abstract: | Investigation of the rolling of two cylinders on the device described in this paper has shown that a study of the rolling friction of bodies coated with polymer films offers a means of investigating adhesion processes. It has been found that the resistance to rolling of bodies coated with nonadhesive polymers has a tendency to increase with increase in velocity, in accordance with the electrical theory of adhesion. The resistance to rolling of bodies coated with adhesive polymers passes through a maximum as the velocity increases and then decreases, in accordance with the diffusion theory of adhesion.Mekhanika Polimerov, Vol. 1, No. 4 pp. 117–122, 1965 |
