Influence of Solutes on Hydration and Lubricity of Dextran Brushes

open access: yesCHIMIA, 2012
The characteristic lubricity and non-fouling behavior of polymer brushes is critically dependent on the solvation of the polymer chains, as well as the chain–chain interactions.

Astonishingly distinct lubricity difference between the ionic liquid modified carbon nanoparticles grafted by anion and cation moieties

open access: yesFriction, 2022
The astonishingly distinct lubricity difference between the ionic liquid modified carbon nanoparticles grafted by anion and cation moieties (A-g-CNPs and C-g-CNPs) was well established as additives of polyethylene glycol (PEG200).

The Effect of Temperature and Asphaltene Content on the Lubricating Properties of Fuel Oils

open access: yesLubricants, 2023
During coal-based power generation, fuel oil is used to assist with ignition of pulverised coal. Fuel oil passes through several pieces of equipment on its way to the burner section of the boiler.

Friction vs. Area Scaling of Superlubric NaCl-Particles on Graphite

open access: yesLubricants, 2019
Structural lubricity is an intriguing tribological concept, where extremely low friction is anticipated, if two surfaces in relative motion do not share the same lattice structure and consequently instabilities originating from interlocking surface ...

Joint Lubrication with Artificial Lubricants [PDF]

open access: yesArthritis & Rheumatism, 1971
AbstractThe joint lubricating properties, in vitro, in bovine metatarsal‐phalangeal joints, of silicone fluid, methyl cellulose and polyvinyl‐pyrrolidone were compared to buffer, serum and synovial fluid. As had been previously reported, synovial fluid was almost twice as good as serum and buffer, which are equivalent in their joint lubricating ...

Tribological Behavior of Biomass Fast Pyrolysis Fuel and Diesel Blends

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
The original biomass fast pyrolysis fuel was modified by an emulsification method to obtain emulsified biomass fast pyrolysis fuel with different proportions (the content of biomass fast pyrolysis fuel in the emulsified biomass fuel was 5 wt.%, 10 wt ...

Structural lubricity: Role of dimension and symmetry

open access: yes, 2003
When two chemically passivated solids are brought into contact, interfacial interactions between the solids compete with intrabulk elastic forces. The relative importance of these interactions, which are length-scale dependent, will be estimated using ...

The Promise of Solid Lubricants for a Sustainable Future. [PDF]

open access: yesAdv Mater
Lubricants are vital for technology, saving energy and resources. The industry seeks sustainable solutions beyond fossil fuels. Solid lubricants offer extremely low friction and reduce environmental impact, especially in harsh conditions. Can these solids truly replace liquid lubricants, or are they limited to extreme applications?

A fundamental mechanism for carbon-film lubricity identified by means of ab initio molecular dynamics

open access: yes, 2016
Different hypotheses have been proposed to explain the mechanism for the extremely low friction coefficient of carbon coatings and its undesired dependence on air humidity.
