Effect of Chain-Length and Countersurface on the Tribochemistry of Bulk Zinc Polyphosphate Glasses [PDF]
Zinc polyphosphate glasses are considered to be chiefly responsible for the anti-wear efficiency of ZnDTP tribofilms. In this work, the tribochemical properties of amorphous bulk zinc polyphosphates of different chain lengths (ranging from zinc ...

Surface passivation and boundary lubrication of self-mated tetrahedral amorphous carbon asperities under extreme tribological conditions [PDF]
Tetrahedral amorphous carbon coatings have the potential to significantly reduce friction and wear between sliding components. Here, we provide atomistic insights into the evolution of the sliding interface between naked and hydrogen-passivated ta-C ...

Preliminary characterisation of the surface of cartilage following exposure to saturated and unsaturated synthetic lips [PDF]
Articular cartilage is covered by a microscopic structure known as surface amorphous layer. This surface structure is often the first victim of attack during cartilage degeneration, thereby resulting in a gross impairment in cartilage function such as ...

The tribological properties of zinc borate ultrafine powder as a lubricant additive in sunflower oil [PDF]
This paper presents an investigation on the tribological properties of zinc borate ultrafine powder employed as a lubricant additive in sunflower oil. The stable dispersions of 0.5 wt%, 1 wt% and 2 wt% zinc borate ultrafine powder in sunflower oil were ...

Synthesis and tribological testing of poly(methyl methacrylate) particles containing encapsulated organic friction modifier [PDF]
The tribological behaviour of polymer particles containing an encapsulated, organic friction modifier (FM) is presented. Particles comprising of a poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) shall and a methanol core, into which FM was dissolved, were produced via

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