Abstract
This study investigated the influence of the surface roughness of rubber on sliding friction. The friction was measured by using textured specimens and plain (non-textured) specimens. Under a dry condition, the textured specimens, whose contact area was smaller than that of the plain ones, showed low coefficients of friction. Under a lubricated condition, the coefficients of friction of the textured specimens were higher in a low speed region, but those were lower in a higher speed region. Therefore, the lubrication conditions should be considered in the application of the texturing on rubber surface.
