Nanometer-scale friction is reduced by a factor of three on graphene compared to the steel substrate, with an ordered layer of hexadecane adsorbed on the graphene. Graphene furthermore induces a molecular ordering in the confined lubricant with an average range of 4–5 layers and with a strongly increased load-bearing capacity compared to the lubricant on the bare steel substrate.
