The simulated nanomechanics for nonfunctional PFPE () films: (a) two well-equilibrated films approach each other, so-called “compression”; (b) two films are in contact; (c) two films completely contact and merge into one confined film; (d) the top surface is retracted, so-called “tension”; and (e) the confined film is being separated into two parts in the nearly end of the “tension.”
