What are the coefficients of friction of cork?

The friction coefficient, μ, of cork sliding on another material (glass and steel in most experiments and also cork) was measured for various compressive stresses and sliding velocities. read more

The friction coefficient, μ, of cork sliding on another material (glass and steel in most experiments and also cork) was measured for various compressive stresses and sliding velocities. There is a strong effect of stress and a negligible effect of velocity on the friction coefficient. read more

The coefficients of friction will actually depend on the two surfaces in contact, so cork on a wooden table will have a different c.o.f than cork on a marble table. Your best bet is to measure it yourself using a simple experiment. read more

By measuring the coefficient of friction (COF), a quantitative number can be used to express the degree of slip resistance of a floor surface. When the coefficient of friction is measured from a resting position, it is called the «static coefficient of friction» (SCOF). read more
