Influence of Ink Composition on Tribological Properties of Ballpoint Pen

In this work, the influence of ink composition on the tribological properties of ballpoint pens has been examined with a view to improve writing smoothness and pen lifetime. Friction experiments were performed using a ball on plate tribometer in order to simulate the sliding contact of a ballpoint p...
