Increasingly demanding performance standards and operating requirements are driving the
growing interest on lubrication technologies in gear transmission systems. Optimized gear …

Advances in lubricants are vital to the pursuit of energy efficiency and sustainable
development. It is well known that the essence of lubricating oil is lubricant additives …

As much as 60 million liters of lubricating fluids end up in the environment annually, and
thus, the environmental impact of lubricants is increasingly recognized in addition to meeting …

The use of ionic liquids (ILs) as lubricants or additives has been studied extensively over the
past few decades. However, the ILs considered for lubricant applications have been part of a …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) nanoparticles have poor dispersion stability and poor
resistance to extreme pressures, which severely limit their application as lubricant additives …

Ionic liquids (ILs) have recently been demonstrated as a promising lubricating material.
However, data on ILs with splendid solubility in non-polar oil and their low-temperature …

The poor compatibility with nonpolar lubricant still hinders the application of carbon dots
(CDs) in lubrication. In addition, research proves that the existence of ionic structure and …

There is a high demand for environmentally friendly lubricants in order to support a transition
to sustainable transport and manufacturing since conventional mineral oils derived from …

Growth of solid tribofilms between moving parts substantially reduces friction and wear, and
this is true especially for boundary-lubricated sliding contacts. However, efficacy of the …

In this work, two kinds of hydroxyl functionalized ionic liquids (ILs) 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole
salicylate [BMIM][SA] and 1-butyl-3-methylimidazole caffeate [BMIM][CA] were synthesized …
