Abstract
Scratch and wear is a long existing deteriorating phenomenon occurring when two moving surfaces are in intimate contact. This problem in polymers has been emphasized because of the increasing popularity of polymers as the materials of choice in various applications. It is thus important for us to understand this phenomenon in order to engineer polymers with good scratch and wear resistance. This article focuses on the fundamental process that leads to abrasion and wear, ie, scratch behavior of polymers. The objective of this article is to highlight the importance of understanding scratch behavior of polymers by giving readers an up-to-date knowledge in this field of research. The theoretical framework concerning interfacial contacts and the experimental aspects in terms of methodology and quantitative measures is introduced. The effects of various material and testing parameters on the scratch behavior of polymers are summarized. Directions for future research are also suggested.
