Abstract
The nature of friction between rubber and a hard substrate is very important for many technical applications. Rubber friction is significantly different from friction between “hard” substances such as metals or ceramics. It was made evident, most notably through the works of Grosch (1962), that rubber friction is very closely related to internal friction. This is proven by the fact that the temperature dependence of the coefficient of friction correlates with the temperature dependence of the complex shear modulus. This is a sign that rubber friction is a volume property.
