We investigated the effect of water vapor pressure and surface hydrophilicity on the tribological behavior in wearless sliding condition. Friction and interfacial shear strength of silicon surfaces with different water affinity (contact angles of <5°, 30°, and 85°) against a glass sphere (contact angle 40°) were examined under various water vapor pressure conditions. The friction of hydrophilic surface decreased as vapor pressure increased and the least hydrophilic surface showed stable and low friction force regardless of relative vapor pressure. However, it showed that the hydrophilic surface with high relative vapor pressure exhibited lower shear strength than a less hydrophilic surface independent of capillary effect. It was explained in terms of capillary wetting and the role of adsorbed water in contact area.
