Test method for abrasion behavior of tire tread compounds using the wear particles
Polymer Testing, 2022 The abrasion behavior of model tire tread compounds was characterized by the shapes and size distributions of their wear particles. Carbon black-filled NR/BR vulcanizates with varying compositions (NR/BR = 100/0, 80/20, and 60/40) were used.

Effect of Surface Crosslinking on the Wear and Friction Behavior of Tea Polyphenol Stabilized Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene for Total Joint Replacements [PDF]
Materials ResearchHighly crosslinked ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) with vitamin E (VE) as an antioxidant is widely used for joint implants. VE helps resist oxidation but raises concerns about reduced crosslink density and wear performance.

BioResearch Open Access, 2012 DNA-cross-linked polyacrylamide hydrogels (DNA gels) are dynamic mechanical substrates. The addition of DNA oligomers can either increase or decrease the crosslinker density to modulate mechanical properties. These DNA-responsive gels show promise as substrates for cell culture and tissue-engineering applications, since the gels allow time-dependent ...
