Abstract

The influence of nanoscale topography and chemical composition on microfriction has been studied at different humidities. Structured surfaces exhibit lower friction than smooth ones. Among the structured surfaces, the crater-like morphologies show lower friction than pyramid-like morphologies. No significant differences in friction were observed when varying the roughness of the crater-like structures. On pyramid-like morphologies, friction increases with decreasing roughness. Additional hydrophobization of surface nanostructures results in only small reductions in friction.
