Role of surface texture and roughness parameters on friction and transfer film formation when UHMWPE sliding against steel

Understanding friction between material pairs is very crucial when utilizing the materials in various applications, including mechanical and biological systems. In the present investigation, tribological properties, such as coefficient of friction (COF) and transfer film formation, were investigated...
