Effects of SiO<sub>2</sub> Contaminant on Thermo-Mechanical/Chemical Properties and Lubricity of PFPE Lubricants

Using the molecular dynamics (MD) simulations with ReaxFF potential, two different types of PFPE lubricants (Ztetraol and ZTMD) are prepared on a-C film, and SiO<sub>2</sub> particles are adsorbed onto the lubricants at room temperature. From the simulation results, it is observed that t...
