Ionic liquids (ILs) are potential lubricant additives that can potentially perform simultaneously
as friction modifiers and anti-wear agents. In addition, they possess good thermal stability …

During automotive engine operation, water may contaminate engine oil, inhibiting its role in
maintaining safe engine operation. In many cases, engine oil must be capable of …

A recurring challenge in extracting energy from ambient motion is that devices must maintain
high harvesting efficiency and a positive user experience when the interface is undergoing …

Industrial globalization leads to increase in the demand for lubricants day by day. Global
issues about crude oil are the finite source, continuous decline, rising prices and …

This work reports tribological properties of PAO6 containing SiO 2 nanoparticles modified
with stearic-acid (SiO 2-SA) as additives at concentrations (0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.30) wt% and …

Organic friction modifiers (OFMs) added to lubricating oils to reduce friction and wear are
crucial for reducing energy loss and CO2 emissions. In our previous studies, we have …

Reducing the sulfur content in fossil diesel is recognized to create cleaner air. One of the
efforts that can be made to reduce sulfur is involving the hydrodesulfurization process in the …

The influence of molecular structure of organic friction modifiers (OFMs) on their adsorption
behaviour on iron oxide surface immersed in PAO oil was investigated using neutron …

The present work addresses the use of synergistic blends of two different types of
nanomaterials (spherical particles and lamellar sheets) as additives for coconut oil‐based …

The friction of methyl-branched fatty acids was studied with a surface forces apparatus (SFA)
with attachments for low-speed (μm/s) and high-speed (cm/s) sliding. The systems studied …
