Friction and Adhesion Measurements Between a Fluorocarbon Surface and a Hydrocarbon Surface in Air

Abstract
In this abstract, we report the first measurements of the friction between a fluorocarbon monolayer and a hydrocarbon monolayer. Because the fluorocarbon and hydrocarbon monolayers are incompatible, one might expect there to be little interpenetration of the opposing chains. Hence, the friction between dissimilar monolayers might be expected to be less than the friction between similar monolayers. The results show that the shear stress between a hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon monolayer film is at least three times less than the friction measured between fluorocarbon/fluorocarbon or hydrocarbon/hydrocarbon monolayer films.Citation
