Abstract:Tribology performances (friction and anti-wear) of aqueous symmetrical tri-block normal and reverse copolymer solutions have been investigated. The ball-on-disk experiment was carried out to measure the coefficient of friction of solutions used at ~25°C and ~50°C. The interaction of alkyl phosphate ester, an anionic surfactant, and the aqueous copolymer solutions was also investigated. When solution was supplied at ~50°C, high friction and severe wear were found indicated that the solutions were not able to pr… Show more
