Fullerene C₆₀ powder was loaded by 1 N normal force and exposed to sliding under different frequencies for 15 min. It is shown that the velocity of the sliding movement determines the stability of the fullerene C₆₀ powder. At slow velocity of movement with a frequency of 1 Hz under 1 N normal force, the fullerene C₆₀ structure remains undamaged after 15 min sliding. On the contrary, high sliding velocities of 10 Hz and 50 Hz affected fragmentation of the fullerene C₆₀, which resulted in a reduction of the coefficient of friction (COF). During sliding with 1 Hz, the friction reached the highest level with an average COF of 0.59 ± 0.03. The faster relative motion under 1 N normal force gave a lower average COF with 0.39 ± 0.03. The initial fullerene C₆₀ powder formed a thick compressed layer in the tribomechanical loaded zone. As proven by Raman spectroscopy, operating the tribomechanical sliding test at 50 Hz stimulated the re-attraction of fresh C₆₀ fullerene island onto the fragmented layer from outside of the loaded powder regions. The COF was increasing again up to 0.44 ± 0.04 for 1 N normal force and 50 Hz frequency. The fragmentation and decomposition of fullerene C₆₀ with increasing sliding velocity is attributed to thermal heating up during fast relative movement. Raman spectra of the tribomechanical loaded fullerene C₆₀ are compared with Raman spectra from slowly heated up C₆₀ in air and with Raman spectra of laser irradiated fullerene C₆₀.
