Boundary Lubrication by Associative Mucin

Langmuir, 2015
Mucus lubricants are widely distributed in living organisms. Such lubricants consist of a gel structure constructed by associative mucin. However, limited tribological studies exist on associative mucin fluids. The present research is the first to investigate the frictional behavior of a typical intact vertebrate mucin (loach skin mucin), which can ...

Boundary Friction and Boundary Lubrication

Scientific Lubrication, 1957
Friction arises at the real contact area of two contacting bodies. This area depends on the mechanical properties of the bodies, geometrical configuration, and load. The authors described a new optical method of determining the area of contact, developed in the Laboratory of Friction and Friction Materials of the Academy of Sciences, Russia.

Theory of friction and boundary lubrication

Physical Review B, 1993
When an external force acts on an adsorbate structure, the structure may slide or flow relative to the substrate. The mechanism behind this sliding motion is of fundamental importance for the understanding of friction and lubrication between two flat macroscopic surfaces, and is also related to the question of what boundary condition should be used for

Wear in boundary lubrication

Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part J: Journal of Engineering Tribology, 2002
Wear is a complex subject. Wear studies under lubricated conditions can be classified into two categories: wear mechanisms study of the materials under ‘lubricated’ conditions, and the evaluation of the lubricant chemistry using the same materials.

Boundary Lubrication and Boundary Films

1993
Despite many years of research, boundary lubrication remains the least well understood regime in the Tribological pantheon. This is in part because it is a broad church, spanning a wide range of quite different phenomena which are, in practical terms, very difficult to disentangle. Also the processes involved in boundary lubrication are very localised,

Part III. Boundary and extreme pressure lubrication - Mechanism of boundary lubrication

Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Series A. Mathematical and Physical Sciences, 1952
Abstract This paper shows how the theory of metallic friction, discussed in earlier papers, is modified in the presence of boundary films. Over the regions of contact the load is mainly supported by the boundary film, but some metallic interaction occurs through it with the formation of minute metallic junctions.

Boundary and hydrodynamic lubrication

Wear, 1990
Abstract Models of typical characteristics of the surfaces of two interfacing solids under pressure and sliding against each other are described. In the first model, the asperities, wedges of the harder surface, indent into the softer surface due to the applied pressure, producing opposing ridges on the surface of the softer component.

Mechanism of Boundary Lubrication

2001
Abstract It has already been indicated that the boundary properties of lubricant films depend on the nature of the metal surfaces as well as on the composition of the lubricant itself. Nevertheless, little work of a consistent nature has been carried out on the effect of the underlying metal on boundary lubrication.
