Analysis of standards for testing lubricity properties on a four-ball apparatus used in Poland [PDF]
The article presents historical review of the Polish standards for testing the extreme-pressure and anti-wear properties of lubricants on a four-ball apparatus, commonly used in the world for this type of test-ing.

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

Tribological Behavior of Biomass Fast Pyrolysis Fuel and Diesel Blends
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 ...

Joint Lubrication with Artificial Lubricants [PDF]
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 ...

Finite-temperature phase diagram and critical point of the Aubry pinned-sliding transition in a 2D monolayer [PDF]
The Aubry unpinned--pinned transition in the sliding of two incommensurate lattices occurs for increasing mutual interaction strength in one dimension ($1D$) and is of second order at $T=0$, turning into a crossover at nonzero temperatures.

Ascorbyl palmitate (AP), known as a nutrition pill, and an antioxidant agent in food, has demonstrated excellent lubricity as an additive in PAO4. Adding one wt% AP in PAO4 drastically decreases friction Coefficient (CoF) up to 66% and protects the steel

Rapid Fabrication of Self‐Propelled and Steerable Magnetic Microcatheters for Precision Medicine
A rapid Joule heating fabrication method for the production of self‐propelling, adaptive microcatheters, with tunable stiffness and integrated microfluidic channels is presented. Demonstrated through three microrobotic designs, including a steerable guiding catheter, an untethered wave‐crawling TubeBot, and a distal‐end propelled microcatheter, it was ...
