The effect of molecular weight on the behavior of polystyrene coated steel disks under fretting conditions

Thin polymeric coatings have been applied to metal surfaces to prevent and/or prolong the onset of fretting corrosion, but the properties that make a polymeric coating effective and the means by which a coating fails are unknown. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of molecular wei...
