Abstract
Reduction and control of the friction force are important from the viewpoint of energy conservation, and novel approaches for achieving this are desirable. The friction force of the boron-doped zinc oxide (B-ZnO) coating on a stainless-steel type-440C substrate was moderated by controlling the B-ZnO crystal nanodomains' piezoelectric effect. The nanoscale and macroscale friction forces, as well as the B-ZnO coating's piezoelectric effect, were measured using lateral force microscopy, friction and wear meter, and piezo response microscopy devices, respectively. The distribution of the friction force's magnitude agreed well with that of the piezoelectric effect. The present study suggests that the friction force can be moderated by controlling the piezoelectric effect in the coating's nanodomains, which constitutes one method for controlling the friction force.
