AB - A technique for measuring lubricant film thickness between soft deformable surfaces under low-load/low-pressure conditions using optical interferometry is presented. Results are presented for pure sliding conditions between a rotating PDMS sphere and plain glass flat lubricated with glycerol, sunflower oil, and pure water solutions. Hydrophobic-hydrophilic and hydrophilic-hydrophilic tribopairs of contacting surfaces were studied. Contact profile shapes and film thickness maps were compared to theoretical models and discussed. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the Proceedings of World Tribology Congress (Kyoto, Japan 9/6-11/2009).
