摘要
Capillary adhesion contributes to friction of sliding multi-asperity contact in humid environment by increasing the solid-solid contact area; whereas the increased adhesion from capillary meniscus is hard to measure due to elastic recovery of contacting asperities. Here, we report the first direct measurement of increased interfacial adhesion from mesoscopic menisci in a macroscale multi-asperity contact comprising soft elastomer and glass surfaces with a diminishing water film. Results also found capillary adhesion and its contribution to a high transient friction coefficient decrease with increased interfacial roughness, which is consistent with prior liter-ature hypotheses.
