In the present paper we overview our recent results on intrinsic frictional properties of adsorbed monolayers, composed of mobile hard-core particles undergoing continuous exchanges with a vapor phase. Within the framework of a dynamical master equation approach, describing the time evolution of the system, we determine in the most general form the terminal velocity of some biased impure molecule - the tracer particle (TP), constrained to move inside the adsorbed monolayer probing its frictional properties, define the frictional forces as well as the particles density distribution in the monolayer. Results for one-dimensional solid substrates, appropriate to adsorbtion on polymer chains, are compared against the Monte Carlo simulation data, which confirms our analytical predictions.
