Designed to resist or prevent abrasion, wear, or rubbing damage on a surface or material.
From 'anti-' (against) + 'abrasion' (from Latin 'abradere' meaning to scrape away), formed in 19th-20th century materials science and engineering.
Antiabrasion coatings on everything from phone screens to spacecraft use chemistry that mimics what nature does with fish scales and snake skin—materials that slide past each other without getting damaged.
