Are There Limits to Superlubricity of Graphene in Hard, Rough Contacts?
Yes, there are. They result from the splitting of a large correlated contact into many small patches. When the lubricant consists of thin solid sheets, like graphene, the patches are expected to act independently from each other. Crude estimates for the friction forces between hard, stiff solids wit...
