Friction Between Polymer Brushes
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
A type of static friction between two polymer brush coated surfaces, resulting from fluctuations from mean field theory is found, but with creep-like motion for forces below the force of static friction, which is much more rapid than the usual creep between solid surfaces in contact.
