What friction properties prevent clothing snagging on composite material surfaces?
Clothing snagging on composite material surfaces is often caused by high friction between fabrics and rough or uneven textures. To prevent this, composite materials can be engineered with specific friction properties, such as reduced surface roughness or low-friction coatings like PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). Smoother surfaces minimize abrasive interactions, while specialized treatments create a slippery barrier that reduces fabric adhesion. Additionally, optimizing fiber alignment in composites can further decrease snagging risks. Understanding these friction properties helps in designing composites that are both durable and fabric-friendly, ensuring longevity for both materials.
