Friction and wear of Langmuir-Blodgett films observed by friction force microscopy
Abstract
Lubrication is documented on a microscopic scale with a friction force microscopy: A reduction in friction is observed for Langmuir-Blodgett film-covered surfaces, compared to the bare substrates. Film defects not detected in the AFM topographic mode are clearly recorded in the friction force mode. With applied forces over 10 nN, the initial stages of wear are observed. Small islands of bilayer height are moved in the entirety, conserving the normal orientation of the aliphatic chains. This collective motion of molecules allows the shear strength of the films to be determined. The observed ability of the molecules to remain in the ordered state illustrates one of the fundamental origins of boundary lubrication.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
