Abstract
As an atomically thin material with low surface energy, graphene is an excellent candidate for reducing adhesion and friction when coated on various surfaces. Here, we demonstrate the superior adhesion and frictional characteristics of graphene films which were grown on Cu and Ni metal catalysts by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto the SiO2/Si substrate. The graphene films effectively reduced the adhesion and friction forces, and multilayer graphene films that were a few nanometers thick had low coefficients of friction comparable to that of bulk graphite.
