## Introduction

The surface texture of mating components is fundamental to the reliable operation of both static and dynamic polymeric seals. Achieving a successful seal requires balancing contradictory demands: maintaining a fluid film thick enough for lubrication while keeping it thin enough to meet stringent leakage criteria.
