Lubrication Forces in Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) Melts

The flow properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) melts at room temperature were studied by measurement of lubrication forces using an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) colloidal force probe. A glass probe was driven toward a glass plate at piezo drive rates in the range of 12 â 120 μm/s, which prod...
