Friction through molecular adsorption at the sliding interface of hydrogels: Theory and experiments

Résumé

We report on the frictional properties of thin ($\approx \mu m$) poly(dimethylacrylamide) hydrogel films within contacts with spherical silica probes. In order to focus on the contribution to friction of interfacial dissipation, a dedicated rotational setup is designed which allows to suppress poroelastic flows while ensuring an uniform velocity field at the sliding interface. The physical-chemistry of the interface is varied from the grafting of various silanes on the silica probes. Remarkably, we identify a velocity range in which the average frictional stress systematically varies with the logarithm of the sliding velocity. This dependency is found to be sensitive to the physical-chemistry of the silica surfaces. Experimental observations are discussed in the light of a molecular model where friction arises from thermally activated adsorption of polymer chains at the sliding interface, their elastic stretching and subsequent desorption. From this theoretical description, our experimental data provide us with adhesion energies and characteristic times for molecular adsorption that are found consistent with the physico-chemistry of the chemically-modified silica surfaces.
