Abstract
Friction tests were carried out in order to investigate the effects of temperature on the friction and wear behaviors between a PMMA film and a fused silica lens using a microtribometer. The friction forces on the PMMA film were measured under atmospheric condition as the temperature of the film was increased from 300 K to 443 K. The contact area between the film and the lens was observed. The tribological characteristics of the film were significantly changed as the temperature increased. The changes were discussed with the change of the film state from glassy to viscous flow. In addition, the results showed that the friction behavior can be varied with the thermal history of the PMMA film. Residual solvent in the PMMA film could emerge to the PMMA surface due to an additional heating and the solvent on the film surface decreased the friction force.
