Nanotribology of Poly(dimethylsiloxane) Melt Confined between Hydrophobic Surfaces
Friction measurements were carried out for a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) melt (Mw ≈ 80000) confined between hydrophobic surfaces using the surface forces apparatus. The PDMS films were prepared by two different procedures: i) compression of a droplet into a hard-wall state (compressed sy...

Friction measurements were carried out for a poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) melt (Mw ≈ 80000) confined between hydrophobic surfaces using the surface forces apparatus.

Large thicknesses generally give low friction; the unusual result suggests that the confined structures may be different between the two systems. The PDMS molecules in both systems lay parallel to surfaces, but the extent of ordering could be much higher for the compressed system. The compressed film has a layer structure and slipping mainly occurs between the layers, resulting in the low friction.
