About the book
"Friction force microscopy is an important analytical tool in the field of friction and rheology on the nanometer scale. The contact area between the probing tip and sample is reduced to some square nanometers, corresponding to the ideal of a single asperity contact. Traditional concepts, such as friction coefficients, adhesion, elasticity, viscosity and stick-slip are re-examined with this novel technique. New concepts based upon classical mechanics and quantum mechanics are investigated." "The text will prove valuable for senior undergraduate and graduate students in physics, materials science, and chemical and mechanical engineering. It will be an important text for novices in the field of tribology (friction, wear, lubrication) and rheology, and a comprehensive literature source of contact mechanics and rheology on the submicron scale for tribologists, polymer and materials scientists, and engineers."--BOOK JACKET.
