Surface Grime Explains Friction
Focus, 2001The standard force law for friction is explained microscopically by a theory that accounts for the grit that coats all surfaces.

Friction of Gels. 3. Friction on Solid Surfaces
The Journal of Physical Chemistry B, 1999Frictions of several kinds of hydrogels, poly(vinyl alcohol) gel, gellan gel, poly(2-acrylamido-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid) gel, and its sodium salt gel, sliding on glass plates as well as on Teflon plates have been investigated both in air and in water.

Water Drop Friction on Superhydrophobic Surfaces
Langmuir, 2013To investigate water drop friction on superhydrophobic surfaces, the motion of water drops on three different superhydrophobic surfaces has been studied by allowing drops to slide down an incline and capturing their motion using high-speed video. Two surfaces were prepared using crystallization of an alkyl ketene dimer (AKD) wax, and the third surface ...

Frictional effects near a metal surface
The Journal of Chemical Physics, 2015When a classical master equation (CME) is used to describe the nonadiabatic dynamics of a molecule at metal surfaces, we show that in the regime of reasonably strong molecule-metal couplings, the CME can be reduced to a Fokker-Planck equation with an explicit form of electronic friction.

Amontonian frictional behaviour of nanostructured surfaces
Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics, 2011With nanotextured surfaces and interfaces increasingly being encountered in technological and biomedical applications, there is a need for a better understanding of frictional properties involving such surfaces. Here we report friction measurements of several nanostructured surfaces using an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM).

Friction‐generated surface deposits
Tribology Letters, 1999Recent publications are reviewed that illustrate friction and wear reductions by friction‐generated surface coatings in a number of applications. The emphasis is on surface chemistry. Topics included are the friction of polymers with and without fillers, the friction of metals and ceramics, friction and wear related to computer disk and tape drives ...

Subjective scaling of smooth surface friction
Journal of Neurophysiology, 19961. Six men and four women, 30-51 yr of age, were asked to use the tip of the washed and dried index finger to stroke six different featureless, flat surfaces mounted on a three-dimensional force platform. The six surfaces were rosin-coated glass, glass, satin-finished aluminum, poly-vinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, Teflon, and nyloprint (polyamide ...

Propagation of Slip along Frictional Surfaces
pure and applied geophysics, 1978The propagation of slip along a pre-existing frictional plane is formulated for the faults containing interstitial fluid. When normal and shear stresses satisfy the effective frictional law, a frictional sliding occurs stably or unstably, depending on the inhomogeneities of the surface.
