GS1108 Micro Friction Characteristic of Fullerene Thin Film (3rd Report)

This paper describes tribology in micro-scale order that is influenced by low friction force caused by low normal load. Recently, micro machines have been used in various fields. Tribological property in micro-scale such as micro machines move is known to be different as compared to macro-scale tribology. The aim of this research is to clarify micro tribology and evaluate it. We selected diamond stylus tip and fullerene polymer thin film as specimens in this research. In this experiment, friction force between two specimens is measured by using scratch tester. In conclusion, some knowledge about micro tribology has clarified.
