Tribological and mechanical characterization of thin polymer films

Fatigue Analysis of Actuators with Teflon Impregnated Coating—Challenges in Numerical Simulation

“…In particular, the chapter by Ramalingam and Zheng [77] presented an analytic model on the stress distribution caused by the elastic difference of coating and substrates. Sheng [78] developed experimental techniques to assess the quality of thin polymer films, including friction, durability, and interfacial adhesion. The characteristics of friction and durability of PTFE films on aluminum substrate were investigated using ball-on-disk and ball-on-plate configurations.…”
