The environmental problems caused by using fossil fuels to sustain the present level of
industrialization have kindled worldwide interest in develo** sustainable lubrication …

Polyelectrolyte brushes provide wear protection and lubrication in many technical, medical,
physiological, and biological applications. Wear resistance and low friction are attributed to …

Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels are excellent synthetic materials for in vitro biotribology
studies. Recent work with hydrogels sliding in a Gemini contact has revealed unique friction …

In this paper, the boundary and elastohydrodynamic lubricating behaviour of glycerol and its
aqueous solutions are discussed in both rolling and sliding contacts with a view on …

Subtle details about a polyelectrolyte's surrounding environment can dictate its structural
features and potential applications. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface forces …

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 …

Rough hydrophobic surfaces have many applications in industry and technology. An
experimental study was done on the spreading dynamics of different concentrations of …

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 …

Interfacial sliding speed and contact pressure between the sub-units of particulate soft
matter assemblies can vary dramatically across systems and with dynamic conditions. By …
