“…Among the numerous solid lubricants, stratiform van der Waals (vdW) two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene, 6 molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ), 7 and hexagonal boron nitride ( h -BN) 8 have a prominent status in the realm of solid lubricants. This prominence is attributed to the weak interlayer vdW interactions, low-shear strength, facile slip behaviors, and large specific surface areas.…”

Prestress manifests on multilayer suspended two-dimensional materials, significantly influencing their friction characteristics. Here, friction of multilayer suspended h-BN to varying prestress levels was quantified through atomic force microscopy (AFM). Friction diminishes as prestress escalates from the center to the edge and the time after the suspended h-BN is prepared. Finite element simulation figures out that prestress broads the contact geometry of multilayer suspended h-BN. Synchronous reduction of the contact area and the interfacial shear strength results in friction reduction. The depressed strengthening effect and stick-slip asymmetry confirm that prestress regulated the contact quality. This work demonstrates that the prestress can provide an additional strategy for friction modulation of two-dimensional materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
