TY - GEN A1 - Theiler, GĂ©raldine T1 - Effects of UV radiation on the friction behavior of thermoplastic polyurethanes N2 - The effects of UV radiation and humidity condition on the frictional properties of TPU materials are presented in this paper. Photooxidative degradation of polymer leads to deterioration of physical and mechanical properties, which affect its tribological behavior significantly. Unfilled TPUs lose their anti-slip properties.
