Abstract

An extension of the Coulomb?Amontons law is proposed in terms of interaction details that involve the (simplified) renormalization of an nth level scheme. The coefficient of friction (COF) is obtained in a general exponential (nonlinear) form that is characteristic of a virtually infinite (or many body) level of the interaction map. However, its application to a hydration repulsion bilayered system that is prone to facilitated lubrication is taken as linearly confined, albeit with an inclusion of a decisive repelling force/pressure factor. Some perspective on related systems that are rather far from biotribological issues is also addressed.
