Nanotribological Studies by Nanoparticle Manipulation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Fundamentals of Friction and Wear on the Nanoscale

Part of the book series: NanoScience and Technology ((NANO))

Abstract

Friction of extended nanocontacts has lately become a subject of growing interest in nanotribology. The related length scales, which are not accessible to conventional friction force microscopy, can best be analyzed by measuring the friction of nanoparticles sliding over flat surfaces. By pushing nanoparticles with an AFM tip a large range of materials combinations and contact areas can be studied under well-defined interface conditions, therefore offering new insight into atomistic concepts of friction.
