초록

Tribological properties of co-sputtered Molybdenum disulfide $(MoS_2)/Carbon\;(C)$ films were studied and compared with those of sputtered $MoS_2$ films. Friction tests were carried out using pin-on-disk friction testers to evluated their friction and wear behaviors in a vacuum ($10^{-5}Pa$), air and humid air of 30, 50, 80% RH. $MoS_2/C$ (14%) composite films exhibited about 9 times longer wear life in a vacuum and about 6 times longer wear life in dry air than $MoS_2$ films did. They also showed stable low friction coefficient of about 0.02 in a vacuum. In humid air, however, $MoS_2/C$ composite films hardly showed good tribological properties.
