New insights on the decomposition mechanism of Molybdenum DialkyldiThioCarbamate (MoDTC): a Raman spectroscopic study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Molybdenum DialkyldiThioCarbamate (MoDTC) is a friction modifier that has been used in automotive engines for many years. However, its exact decomposition mechanism within tribocontacts is not fully understood.

Physicochemistry aspects on frictional interfaces

open access: yesFriction, 2017
Friction exists wherever relative motion occurs and is the main source of energy consumption. Lubrication plays a significant role in improving fuel efficiency, reducing emissions, and prolonging the service life of machines. Surface interactions between

Role of the Controlled Periodic Illumination (CPI) for Enhancing the Photonic Efficiency of a Photocatalytic System

open access: yesChemCatChem, Volume 16, Issue 20, October 21, 2024.
Efficiency of photo‐processes on semiconductor surfaces is typically measured under continuous irradiation of the catalyst; this can lead to determined limitations given by the substrate‐catalyst interaction. In this short review, we highlight the strengths and the weaknesses of several published studies on pollutants abatement and hydrogen production ...

Insight into the high-temperature tribological mechanism of VAlTiCrW high entropy alloy film: AlV3O9 from tribochemistry

open access: yesFriction, 2022
High-entropy alloys have made significant progress in high mechanical properties, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance properties. Excellent tribological properties, especially high-temperature lubrication, have become another sought performance. In

Experimental and theoretical investigations of friction properties of graphite intercalated compounds. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
It is classically admitted that the goodfriction properties of lamellar compounds are strongly related to their anisotropic structure and especially to the existence of weak interlayer interactions through the van der Waals gap separating the basal ...

Shear and thermal effects in boundary film formation during sliding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
A prerequisite for understanding mechano- and tribochemical reaction pathways is that the interface be in thermodynamic equilibrium and that the temperature be well defined.

Antiwear performance of ionic liquid+graphene dispersions with anomalous viscosity-temperature behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
New dispersions of few-layers graphene (G) in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([EMIM]) ionic liquids (ILs) with dicyanamide ([DCA]) or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([TFSI]) anions have been obtained by mechanical mixing and sonication.

Stress-augmented thermal activation: Tribology feels the force

open access: yesFriction, 2018
In stress-augmented thermal activation, the activation energy barrier that controls the rate of atomic and molecular processes is reduced by the application of stress, with the result that the rate of these processes increases exponentially with applied ...
