Abstract:

The matrix parameters of a modified polyalkene bearing are, besides the elastic requirements, a high structural order and molecular symmetry. High-density polyethylene is superior to the branched types and the carbon-reinforced composites. It surpasses isotactic polybutene, which represents a highly ordered structure of lower symmetry. This makes high-density polyethylene the preferred matrix material for fluid lubrication application. Author
