Frictional behavior of polymers: the transition from static to kinetic conditions

It is believed that the noise produced in squeaking dashboards is caused by the drop in friction force during the transition from static to kinetic conditions between the mating plastic components of the dashboard. The frictional behavior of a polymer determines whether there is a drop in friction f...
