The 4th International conference on Polymer Tribology

The use of polymeric materials in tribological applications has become increasingly common within the past few decades and the trend is sure to continue due to their many advantages.  The growing demand for polymer-based tribological contacts requires continuous improvement and optimization of polymer production and product design. Several aspects of polymer tribology must therefore be better understood to ensure the best possible friction and wear performance for the application, which is the main goal of this conference. After three successful PolyTrib conferences with 70 – 80 participants from 20 different countries, coming from both research institutes and the industrial sector, the 4th PolyTrib conference aims to enlarge the audience even further. The goal is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge in polymer tribology, a field rather under-represented at conferences before now, by bringing together cutting-edge research and novel manufacturing and sales practices from all over the world. The conference will host several esteemed invited keynote speakers, regular technical and poster sessions, exhibitions and social events, as well as a programme for accompanying persons. In addition there will also be a Session dedicated to polymer gears.
