摘要

The invention relates to a method for preparing a lubricated surface of an article to reduce the break-out force and sliding frictional force, comprising: providing one or more surfaces; applying a lubricant to at least one of the surfaces forming a coated surface, the lubricant including a compound selected from the group consisting of a perfluoropolyether, a functionalized perfluoropolyether, a polychlorotrifluoroethylene, a polysiloxane-based compound, and mixtures thereof; and exposing the coated surface to an ionizing gas plasma at atmospheric pressure.
