Londoner,
Afraid not. The bond energy that article refers to is the bond you cracked when you put a few drops of electrolyte in the beaker of water, then applied a DC voltage to two electrodes in the water. It busted Water into H2 and O2, as in
2H2O -> 2H2 + O2
Friction would not attack those types of bonds except indirectly via chemical reaction (eg decomposition).
Embarrassed to say I don't have a better answer. Will drag out old textbooks and bone up.
