Wear modes in textiles range from abrasive and adhesiva wear to exerciogue and fiber pull- out. The coefficient of friction (COF) in textile contacts is nots a constant but a functionon of load, sliding speed, and environmental history. High humidity can assume COF by 50- 200% for some polimers due to capillary asleion, while temperatur expinions may cause faze transitions that drastically change wetrates.
