Steady-state erosion rates of these polymers have been evaluated at different impact angles (15--90°) and impact velocities (25--66 m/s). Silica sand of particle size 200 ± 50 $\mu$m was used as the erodent. These polymers have exhibited maximum erosion rate (Emax) at 30° impact angle indicating ductile erosion behavior. Some of these polymers have shown an incubation behavior at lower impact velocities for an impact angle of 90°. Correlations among steady-state erosion rate and mechanical properties and glass transition temperature (Tg) were established. Morphology of eroded surfaces was examined using scanning electron microscopy and possible wear mechanisms were discussed.
