Abstract

By means of the hoop apparatus, contact resistance and coefficient of friction of fiber bundles on a solid substrate have been determined in air at different humidities. The results can be explained by a two-component model, comprising (i) a double molecular layer of adsorbed water at contact spots and (ii) a zone about each contact spot within which excess adsorbed moisture which has been squeezed out from the load-bearing area bypasses the spot.
