The effect of radiation-induced cross-linking on the wear rate of polyvinylidene fluoride during friction in a liquid

Results are shown of the exploration of the radiation-induced cross-linking effect on the wear rate of polyvinylidene fluoride during friction in a liquid (running water and water containing abrasive particles). It is shown that the wear rate has an extreme pattern with the minimum being within the...

Description
Summary:	Results are shown of the exploration of the radiation-induced cross-linking effect on the wear rate of polyvinylidene fluoride during friction in a liquid (running water and water containing abrasive particles). It is shown that the wear rate has an extreme pattern with the minimum being within the range of the absorbed gamma radiation: 100–300 kGy. It is established that the radiation wear enables considerably increasing the wear resistance of the polymer during friction in the liquid.
