Abstract
We measured the static friction force of agar gel-on-glass plate in water.
The static friction force is independent of the apparent contact area between
the agar gel and the glass plate. It increases with waiting time, that is, contact
duration prior to motion. The static friction force is represented well by a power
law of waiting time.
The waiting time dependence is different from those of solid-on-solid systems.
These results are discussed, based on asperity contact model.
