The wear properties of low modulus polymer‐based friction materials were studied. The wear equation W = K P a V b t c was used to correlate the wear of polymer‐based friction material sliding against cast iron with the wear coefficient ( K ), load ( P ), speed ( V ), and time ( t ). The parameters were determined experimentally by varying only one variable at a time and keeping the other two variables constant. The wear rate of selected polymer‐based friction material was compared with cast iron friction material. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 95: 1181–1188, 2005
