PAPER • OPEN ACCESSMorphology, composition and tribological properties of tantalum coatings deposited onto a rubber substrate Abstract. The paper analyzes the features of morphology and composition impact on tribological characteristics of tantalum coatings sputtered onto a rubber substrate. It is shown the influence of sputtering time on the structural changes in the form of clusters and grains that made up the coating. The morphology and composition features correlation with the coatings' wear-resistance characteristics was investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
