Quantitative Nanofriction Characterization of Corrugated Surfaces by Atomic Force Microscopy
A. Podesta', G. Fantoni, P. Milani
Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a suitable tool to perform tribological characterization of materials down to the nanometer scale. An important aspect in nanofriction measurements…

Nanotribological characterization of industrial Polytetrafluorethylene-based coatings by atomic force microscopy
A. Podesta', G. Fantoni, P. Milani +2
We present the result of a systematic study of the tribological properties of industrial Polytetrafluorethylene (PTFE)-based coatings carried out with an atomic force microscope. A…
