DESCRIPTION:Friction is a ubiquitous phenomenon that greatly affects our ev
 eryday lives and is responsible for large amounts of energy loss in indust
 rialised societies. Layered materials such as graphene have interesting fr
 ictional properties and are often used as (additives to) lubricants to red
 uce friction and protect against wear. Experimental Atomic Force Microscop
 y studies and detailed simulations have shown a number of intriguing effec
 ts such as friction strengthening and dependence of friction on the number
  of layers covering a surface. Here\, we propose a simple\, fundamental\, 
 model for friction on thin sheets. We use our model to explain a variety o
 f seemingly contradictory experimental as well as numerical results. This 
 model can serve as a basis for understanding friction on thin sheets\, and
  opens up new possibilities for ultimately controlling their friction and 
 wear protection.\nVortragende(r): Prof. Astrid de Wijn
