Due to the increasing demand of low emission and fuel economy, friction modifiers have
been widely used in lubricating compositions to adjust friction and wear properties of …

This review aims at introducing an engineering field of lubrication to researchers who are
not familiar with tribology, thereby emphasizing the importance of lubricant chemistry in …

Recently, we have proposed an Electro-hydrostatic-actuator (EHA) based on a novel linear
oscillating motor, which permits nanoparticle additives, such as layered graphene and MoS …

Implementation of tighter environmental restrictions on combustion engine emissions has
resulted in the need to create new, more environment friendly engine oil additives. By far the …

Fuel economy and reduction of harmful elements in lubricants are becoming important
issues in the automotive industry. An approach to respond to these requirements is the …

Recent achievements in chemistry and technology of nanosized inorganic particles provide
possibility of synthesis in various metal oxides, chalcogenides, and so on. Surface …

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) based on sulfate radicals (SO 4⋅−) suffer from low
conversion rate of Fe (III) to Fe (II) and produce a large amount of iron sludge as waste …

The application of diamond like carbon (DLC) coatings in tribological applications, the range
of deposition methods employed and techniques for characterising the structure and …

Three imidazolium-based ionic liquids containing sterically hindered phenol groups were
synthesized. The cation was 1-(3, 5-ditert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)-3-methyl-imidazolium, and …

Lubrication conditions have significant influences on the formation of tribofilms and then
affect tribological behavior. In this work, the influence of tribofilm formation on the tribological …
