Nanofluidics: Molecularly thin lubricant layers under confinement

Confined liquid films with a thickness in the range of a few molecular diameters exhibit different mechanical properties than in the bulk.With the technique of a 2-dimensional (2D) imaging surface forces apparatus (SFA) we investigated in detail the layer by layer thinning of a thin liquid film conf...
