An instrument is being developed to simultaneously measure friction and friction-generated temperature of polymers and composites in a dry sliding configuration. This thermo tribometer is being carefully evaluated and characterized with nylon specimens to ensure that material response and instrument response are separable and identifiable. The thermo tribometer will be used to evaluate and qualify more advanced polymers for tribological applications.
