Boundary Lubricant Film Properties versus Molecular Polarity of Perfluoropolyethers Containing a Pendant Chain
The thin film properties of some novel branched perfluoropolyether (PFPE) boundary lubricants are investigated as a function of molecular polarity and end-group bonding to the underlying carbon film. The PFPE main chain, comprised of n-perfluoroethylene oxide monomer units, is stiffer than the Fombl...
