Numerical Model for Hydration-Lubricated Contact and Its Friction Behavior at Nanoscale

In this study, we propose a numerical model to investigate the contact and friction behaviors of hydration-lubricated contact in an aqueous solution confined in a gap of several molecular diameters. A force–distance curve was obtained under different surface forces, and friction behavior was determi...
