Friction Properties of the DLC Film with Periodic Structures in Nano-scale

Reduction of friction at very low normal loads and for very small contact areas is important for the development of micro devices. High performance hard coatings such as diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and improved surfaces with nanostructures are being investigated with respect to their friction re...
