Abstract

This study conducted friction experiments of three elastomer block materials on ice (low pressure injection of polyurethane (PU), injection moulding of a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and vulcanization of rubber (RU)), with a linear tribometer operating under four different ambient air temperatures (-10 °C to 0 °C) and six different sliding velocities (0.3 to 5 m/s). At low temperatures (-10 °C and -5 °C), the RU material showed the highest dynamic and static friction. However, at high temperatures (-2 °C and 0 °C) the PU revealed the highest dynamic friction and highest static friction at 0 °C. We discuss the physical phenomena’s of elastomer friction on ice and in relation to the application of footwear slipping on ice.
