Non-equilibrium responses of PFPE lubricants with various atomistic/molecular architecture at elevated temperature

During the operation of hard disk drive (HDD), the perfluoropolyether (PFPE) lubricant experiences elastic or viscous shear/elongation deformations, which affect the performance and reliability of the HDD. Therefore, the viscoelastic responses of PFPE could provide a finger print analysis in designi...
