Tribology of elastomers

Abstract: In this work, the tribological behaviour of different sealing elastomers has been studied. The influence of aging of a sealing elastomer in different lubricants on its tribological behaviour has been investigated. Tribological behaviour of sealing elastomers in dry condition and the mechanisms occurring in run-in period have been studied. Further studies pertaining to the influence of lubrication on the abrasive wear of a sealing elastomer have also been carried out.
