Resumen:
The use of polymers has spread widely in engineering applications where parts of devices are
subjected to sliding or in contact with surfaces in relative motion. The information available in the
open literature on the tribological properties of polyethylenes, other than known as UHMWPE, is
limited and is not fully known the relationship between the wear resistance and the molecular and
morphological characteristics of these materials.
In the present study we investigate the wear behavior of crosslinked high density polyethylene
(HDPE) in contact with steel, with the aim of knowing the influence of the molecular
characteristics on the friction behavior of the polymer.
