Glove donning layer containing particles

摘要

An elastomeric article or body having a relatively low friction layer adapted to create a surface with gross rugosities on at least a portion of a first surface of the elastomeric body when the article is exposed to a stretching force is provided. The elastomeric body has a plurality of surface-area-contact reducing particles that have substantially smooth morphology distributed over the low friction layer, which is created from a network of a silicone-modified vinyl acetate polymer. The particles further reduce friction between the first surface and another surface. The low friction layer is stable and adapted to chemically adhere particles substantially permanently to the layer, such that the layer and particles conferring a reduction in relative surface friction when donning the article.
