Abstract :
The rough material can improve the friction, the adhesion, as well as reduce the wetting which were characterised by Brownian surface. The work is to analyse the possible relationship between different classical roughness parameters, the maximum surface amplitude, the Hurst exponent, the lacunarity. The topographies were obtained using the atomic force microscopy.
