| 0 | 0.738 ± 0.093 | 0.707 ± 0.089 | 1.346 ± 0.113 | 1.298 ± 0.113 |
| 1 | 0.334 ± 0.169 (P = .0016) | 0.312 ± 0.174 (P = .0019) | 1.052 ± 0.216 (P = .0273) | 1.026 ± 0.222 (P = .0435) |
| 2 | 0.366 ± 0.114 (P = .0005) | 0.312 ± 0.108 (P = .0002) | 0.815 ± 0.114 (P < .0001) | 0.765 ± 0.098 (P < .0001) |
| 3 | 0.471 ± 0.091 (P = .0018) | 0.416 ± 0.090 (P = .0009) | 0.719 ± 0.121 (P < .0001) | 0.683 ± 0.120 (P < .0001) |
Note:—COF indicates coefficient of friction.
* The COF is presented as mean ± SD. The Student t test compares the mean COF of the coated and uncoated groups. The 2-tailed P value < .05 indicates a statistically significant difference.
