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...
