Friction reduction in low-load hydrodynamic lubrication with a hydrophobic surface

A novel tribometer capable of measuring low friction forces and low loads at high speeds has been employed to measure the friction coefficient in a pure sliding, ball-on-flat contact in hydrodynamic lubrication conditions. The tribometer was custom-built for measuring friction at low loads, to allow...
