Nanotribology Study With T-shape Probe by Atomic Force Microscopy

Abstract eng:
With the continuous development of materials science, microscopic material design and microstructure build-up are essential to realize desired properties which has attracted more and more attention. Other than the bulk properties of the material, the properties on the microscopic surface of the material, particularly the friction and adhesion properties, have played a crucial role in the design of materials, especially for the development of biomimetic materials. In this study, taking cartilage as a model sample, we employed a facile atomic force microscopy based nanotribology method with T-shape probe to investigate the friction coefficient of materials at nanoscale. Compared to other methods, the complicated force calibration processes are eliminated with this new method, thus the process is more practical and the results are more accurate.
