Abstract

The relationships between the surface energetics of polymer miniature elements and lubricants and the tribological properties of the journal steel/polymer microbearings are discussed. A method for the deter mination of the relative magnitudes of surface free energies of the real surfaces of polymer miniature bushes is described. This method is based on the analysis of the spreading dynamics of a drop of a lubricant on the bearing polymer surface.
