Tribological properties of molecular films composed of a fullerene monolayer chemically attached to the functional surface of self-assembled monolayers (C60−SAM) were studied by friction force microscopy. We observed very high wear stability of composite fullerene films. The friction coefficient (μ) for these films varies in a wide range from 0.04 ± 0.02 at high loads and 0.06 ± 0.02 at the highest velocities tested (<1000 μm/s) to 0.15 ± 0.03 at intermediate velocities and low loads. This non-monotonic velocity behavior is a striking feature of fullerene films as compared to steadily rising friction forces for alkylsilane monolayers (CH3−SAM) and may be related to exceeding dissipation of energy during structural rearrangement of fullerene molecules. The friction coefficient of C60−SAM films of 0.04−0.15 at various velocities and loads is much lower than μ for silicon surfaces (0.1−0.6) and is comparable to the friction coefficient of CH3−SAM (0.02−0.05) and an azide-terminated monolayer, N3−SAM (0.04−0....
