Molecular Effects on the Tribological Properties of Monolayer Films

In recent years, the goal of understanding lubrication on the nano/microscale has gained prominence due to the rise of microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) that have applications in microfluidics, sensors, and switches. Traditional lubricants are insufficient at the length scales of microscale devi...
