Are there any types of frictionless plastics? If you slide your finger across the surface of an Apple iMac you will get the feeling that your finger is quot;electrifiedquot; and floating. In other types of plastics you get the feeling that your finger is quot;stickyquot; (like touching glue).
There is no such thing as a frictionless surface. there are several ways to reduce friction though.
ultra high molecular weight polyethylene with the trade name of P-Tex is getting fairly close to a frictionless plastic. It also has very high strength compared to other plastics and, due to both characteristics, is commonly used to surface skis and sled runners. This material is often white in color and can be found in some hardware stores. Polycarbonate under the trade name Lexan would also have relatively low friction (and high strength).
