Due to the development of compounding technology, there is a considerable increase in the number of high performance rubbers in the world. Accordingly, there are rapid growing requests about high performance tires such as UHP tire and Run-flat tire. However, it is extremely difficult to investigate the friction coefficient of tire tread rubbers. An alternative solution must be developed with the reliability of high-speed linear friction test machines. The use of friction test machines can be expected to improve rubber friction researches. In this paper, we propose a new kind of high-speed linear friction test machine. We have designed and manufactured various mechanisms for friction tests. The final goals are to design and manufacture friction test machines that can investigate friction coefficients efficiently and rapidly. The performance of the proposed high-speed linear friction test machine is evaluated experimentally; however additional study should be necessary for safer and more reliable experimentation.

Applying design methodology, new type friction tester has been developed. Functional analysis has been executed and functional structure were constructed during the conceptual design. Optimal solution has been selected and a proto model has been manufactured according to the conceptual design. Using the tester developed in the laboratory, frictional characteristics of natural rubbers have been experimentally analyzed. Friction coefficient has been calculated from the measured normal force and friction force under various speeds, loads, and temperatures. The corelations between the various operating conditions and friction coefficients have been verified. Especially, drag friction due to the visco-elastic behavior of the rubber has been observed in this analysis.

This paper presents the hysteresis friction of a sliding elastomer on various types of surfaces. The hysteresis friction is calculated by means of an analytical model which considers the energy spent by the local deformation of the rubber due to surface asperities. By establishing the fractal character of the surfaces, the contribution to rubber friction of roughness at different length scales is accounted for. High resolution surface profilometer is used in order to calculate the main three surface descriptors and the minimal length scale that can contribute to hysteresis friction. The results show that this friction prediction can be used in order to characterize in an elegant manner the surface morphology of various surfaces and to quantify the friction coefficient of sliding rubber as a function of surface roughness, load and speed.

The surface of wiper blade(W/B) rubber was chlorinated by chemical treatment method using the hydrochloric acid(HCI) and sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl). From the results of contact angle measurement, friction coefficient measurement, and ATR-IR spectra, the surface characteristics of chlorinated W/B rubber with time of chlorination were studied. Contact angles for W/B rubber with increasing time of chlorination and chlorine concentration were measured for the water and ethylene glycol. From the results, contact angle fell rapidly with increasing time of chlorination and chlorine concentration, reaching a constant value after about 10min. And the wettability of W/B rubber surface by means of chlorination has been improved. For an unchlorinated W/B rubber, the friction coefficient with time of chlorination decreased from 1.27 to 0.20~0.23 on full chlorination. As the results it was considered that abrasion resistance of W/B rubber surface has been also improved. The values of pH and $Cl^-$ ion concentration in a chlorine treatment solution decreased as the extent of chlorination of W/B rubber surface increased. From the results of ATR-IR spectra, it was observed that C=C double band of W/B rubber surface transformed into C-Cl band, but quantitative determination of the extent of chlorination was not feasible because of the complexity of chlorination reactions.

Friction coefficient of epoxy metal matrix composites were investigated. The main objective was to increase the friction coefficient through rubber sole sliding against the epoxy floor coating providing appropriate level of resistance. This was to avoid the excessive movement and slip accidents. Epoxy metal matrix composites were reinforced by different copper wire diameters. The epoxy metal matrix composites were experimentally conducted at different conditions namely dry, water and detergent wetted sliding, were the friction coefficient increased as the number of wires increased. When the wires were closer to the sliding surface, the friction coefficient was found to increase. The friction coefficient was found to increase with the increase of the copper wire diameter in epoxy metal matrix composites. This behavior was attributed to the fact that as the diameter and the number of wires increased, the intensity of the electric field, generated from electric static charge increased causing an adhesion increase between the two sliding surfaces. At water wetted sliding conditions, the effect of changing number of wires on friction coefficient was less than the effect of wire diameter. The presence of water and detergent on the sliding surfaces decreased friction coefficient compared to the dry sliding. When the surfaces were detergent wetted, the friction coefficient values were found to be lower than that observed when sliding in water or dry condition.

This study has been investigated to apply fiber reinforced composites instead of asbestos as a friction material. the reinforced used was E-glass fiber and binder resin was phenol having good mechanical properties and heat resistance. And it has been also investigated the effect of molding conditions and some additives such and carbon black, alumina and rubber powder in E-glass fiber/phenol resin composite on the friction on the friction and wear characteristics. As a result, it was found that the molding conditions of E-glass fiber/phenol resin composites for friction materials had to be different from those of phenol resin and was found that the wear rate of E-glass fiber/phenol resin composites added alumina powder was higher than of composites added carbon black in the same wear distance. And it was found that friction coefficient of E-glass/phenol resin composites added carbon black was decreased and that of the composites added the powder of natural rubber and ABS rubber were increased compared to the composites.

자동차의 와이퍼 블레이드(Wiper Blade, W/B)의 마찰계수를 낮추기 위하여 고무 표면을 염소 처리하였다. 염소처리 방법으로는 물 $20.0{\ell}$에 35.0% 염산(HCl)과 5.25% 차아염소산소다(NaOCl)를 각각 $300m{\ell}$, $400m{\ell}$를 첨가한 염소처리용액을 만든 후, 2분에서 20분 동안 처리하였다. 처리 후의 표면 특성은 IR 스펙트럼, 마찰계수 측정기, EPMA를 이용하였다. IR 스펙트럼으로 부터 W/B 고무 표면의 염소화 정도를 확인하였다. 마찰계수는 염소처리에 의해 크게 감소하였다. 특히, 염소화 초기에 보다 민감한 영향을 나타내었다. 고무표면 특성을 고무 파단면의 길이 방향에 대하여 EPMA 선분석한 결과를 얻었다. EPMA에 의한 염소침투깊이는 위의 염소농도에서, 염소처리를 5분 실시한 후에 1.2 ${\mu}m$ 임을 알 수 있었다.

신발 밑창용 CIIR에 BR, SBR 및 NBR을 다양한 조성으로 혼합하여 블렌드물의 내마모성과 마찰계수에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. CIIR이 BR에 블렌딩됨에 따라 CIIR이 BR의 결정 형성을 방해하며, 이것이 BR/CIIR 블렌드물의 내마모성을 급격히 감소하는 요인 중의 하나로 작용하는 것으로 이해된다. BR/CIIR 블렌드물에서 BR의 함량이 증가함에 따라 $tan{\delta}$ 피크 면적이 저하하였으며, 블렌드물의 마찰계수도 유사하게 저하하는 경향을 나타내었다. CIIR에 BR을 첨가함에 따라 블렌드물의 응력완화율 및 반발탄성이 감소하였으며, 블렌드물의 반발탄성에 영향을 미치는 것으로 추정된다.

According to the accident/incident reports of aircraft runway overruns and excursions, it generally shows runway friction reduction and aircraft braking capability deterioration are the basic causes due to adverse weather. Although surface of paved runway gets wet, it also should give good friction capability. If runway surface is worn due to long time usage and friction capability is reduced due to rubber accumulation or weather conditions(snow, rain, ice etc.), airport authorities should rapidly measure friction coefficient and give them to relevant persons through aeronautical information system and support safe takeoff and landing. Operation wise, these information of friction coefficient reduction should be lead to aircraft performance adjustments, but the data from manufacturer(performance manual) are airplane braking coefficient and the data from airport authorities are vehicle measured braking coefficient. But these two data are considered as the same meaning although the definite relationship between them is not clarified yet. So I am trying to search for the technical background of these two data and suggest reasonable method to use them efficiently.

본 연구에서는 IR과 CR의 블렌딩을 통하여 물성 개선 및 내구 성능 개선을 목적으로 IR/CR의 비율을 다양하게 블렌딩하여 제조한 고무시료의 가교 특성, 물성 변화, Morphology의 변화 및 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. 한편으로 블렌딩 된 고무에 다양한 조건으로 염소 표면처리를 하였을 때 고무시료의 Morphology를 관찰하고 마찰 시험을 통해 염소의 표면처리가 마찰계수에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 고무의 가교특성에서는 CR의 함량이 증가할수록 가교 속도가 감소하였으나 가교밀도는 일정하였고,경도, 모듈러스가 증가하였는데 이것은 가교특성의 변화와 밀접한 관계가 있으며, 가교 반응의 활성화에 의한 결정화 영향으로 기계적 강도가 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 노화 후 물성 변화는 IR/CR Blend가 상호 기계적 물성의 단점을 보완하여 노화에 의한 물성 변화를 감소시키는 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 염소 표면처리 한 시료의 노화 전, 후 상태물성의 변화는 감소하였다. 현미경 사진 관찰 결과 CR 함량 증가에 따라 표면 분산도가 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 염소 표면처리된 고무의 표면은 일정한 방향으로 균일하게 표면처리되었고 매끄러움과 광택이 증가하였다. 고무 표면의 개질 정도는 표면염소잔류량으로 확인할 수 있었으며, 마찰계수는 고무와 결합된 염소함량에 의존하는 것으로 나타났다. CR 함량이 10 - 40 phr까지는 표면처리 초기단계에서 마찰계수가 급격히 감소하였으나, 처리용액의 염소농도가 증가할수록 마찰계수의 감소는 둔화되었고, CR 함량이 50 phr에서는 처리용액의 염소농도 변화에 따라 마찰계수의 감소가 둔화되었다.
