Figure 6.
Comparison of thin-film rheology and tribology of imidazolium ILs: friction coefficient, relaxation time, and master curves for G′ and G″. Color legend for all plots: red for 0% RH and blue for 18 and 35% RH. (a) Friction coefficient. The solid bars give the friction coefficient μ0, whereas the dashed bars give the friction coefficient for the transition to μ+Δ. (b) Characteristic relaxation time scale, τ0 = 1/ω0, at the cross point between G′ and G″ for the selected ILs at D0 (solid bar) and D+Δ (dashed bars). (c) Master curve for G′ and G″.
