Nanostructure, self-assembly and friction in confined liquids
The work presented in this thesis uses a custom-built surface force balance with extreme sensitivity and resolution to understand at the molecular level how the structure of confined liquid films relates to their frictional and lubricating properties. The experiments involve shearing two identical a...
