Abstract

The manufacturers of gloves need to enhance the gripping ability to develop their quality, where the adequate grip and tactile response under wide range of conditions are desired. It was recommended to cover the sport gloves by rubber layer fitted by small rubber circular discs on glove surface to improve gripping. In the present study, the effect of the cylindrical rubber protrusions proposed to be introduced in the surface of the gloves of the soccer goalkeeper, on friction coefficient is experimentally investigated. Friction coefficient displayed by the sliding of soccer ball on the rubber protrusions of different diameter and height at dry sliding is determined. Besides, the effect of the thickness of the rubber substrate is studied.
 
Based on the experimental observations, it was found thatfriction coefficient displayed by rubber protrusions showed significant increase with increasing the number and height of the protrusions. Friction values of the protruded rubber surfaces were much higher than that observed for smooth rubber surface. Added to that, it was revealed that the increased deformation of rubber is responsible for the contribution of friction, where, as the deformation increases, friction force increases. Rubber protrusions showed significant increase of friction coefficient with increasing substrate thickness. This behavior can be attributed to the increased deformation of rubber that increased the contact area.
