Ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a PE having molecular weight over 106. It offers many advantageous properties including high tensile strength and modulus, good chemical and wear resistance. UHMWPE is known as a wear resistant polymer with a moderate coefficient of friction against steel counterface. Consequently, UHMWPE has been used in many different fields such as bearing components, gears, guide rails, and medical materials in total joint replacement. Among existing oil-resistant rubbers, chloroprene rubber (to be sometimes referred to as CR) is an excellent synthetic rubber having balanced properties and finds widespread uses in hose covers, dust cover boots and belts of automobiles. In this research, UHMWPE was added to the CR compound for automobile chassis components and The characteristics of the CR compound were studied. |
