We present molecular dynamics (MD) friction and adhesion calculations for nanometer-thick confined hydrocarbon films with molecular lengths 20, 100 and 1400 carbon atoms. We study the dependency of the frictional shear stress on the confining pressure and sliding speed. We present results for the pull-off force as a function of the pull-off speed and the sliding speed. Some of the results are analyzed...
Using a Leonardo da Vinci experimental setup (constant driving force), I have studied the low-speed sliding friction for silicone rubber on a smooth polymer substrate. The friction force depends nonlinearly on the load, which I attribute to the influence of adhesion on the area of real contact. The experimental results are analyzed using the Persson’s contact mechanics theory, and the calculated dependency...
