Abstract

The thesis describes experimental steps towards reduction

of friction on the macroscopic scale by scenarios of thermo- and

superlubricity well-known on the nanoscale. The friction study involves

experiments on tailored Si nanopillar arrays, micropatterned Diamond-Like Carbon coating and high-quality graphene.
