...Adedoyin Abe; Dipankar Choudhury; Min Zou Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a solid lubricant with low friction coefficient. However, it lacks durability as a thin coating. Prior studies have shown that a polydopamine (PDA) underlayer enhances the coating durability. In this study, 100, 200...

..., with an appropriate choice of metals, it has the potential to achieve low adhesion, low contact resistance, and high durability. The effect of the layer thickness on the adhesive contact was investigated. In particular the influences of layer thickness on the pull-off force, maximum contact radius, and contact...

...T. Haque; A. Morina; A. Neville There has been a lot of attention on the effect of lubricant additives on the friction at carbon coated surfaces. But only few papers have addressed the effect of additives on the durability of some diamondlike carbon DLC coatings. This paper presents a systematic...
