Abstract: We present an experimental and theoretical study of dry and glycerol-lubricated sliding for poly- methyl methacrylate (PMMA) cylinders with different surface roughness levels sliding on poly- dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) rubber. This system represents a hydrophobic soft contact, where adhesion may persist even in the presence of the lubricant and thereby modify both the real contact area and the sliding response. Dry-friction measurements, combined with contact-area calculations that include adhesion, provide a baseline for the lubricated study. For the two sandblasted surfaces, the measured Stribeck curves are described reasonably well by a mean-field mixed- lubrication theory with a fitted velocity-independent effective interfacial shear stress. In contrast, the smooth surface exhibits qualitatively different behavior. We attribute this to an adhesion- controlled sliding mode involving macroscopic Schallamach-wave-like instabilities at low sliding speeds, which are progressively suppressed as the sliding speed increases and forced wetting reduces direct solid-solid contact. The results show that, for soft hydrophobic contacts, the Stribeck curve cannot always be understood from classical fluid flow and load sharing alone. For suffi- ciently smooth and adhesive surfaces, adhesion changes not only the real contact area but also the sliding mode itself.
