The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial lubricants have received increasing attention as mild
and environmentally friendly friction and wear moderators because they can act as …

As pure lubricants, ILs performed very well by forming the classical self-assembly bilayer at
the sliding interface. The interface mechanism is still not clear in a very polar, eg, water …

Understanding the characteristics of material contact and lubrication at tribological interfaces
is of great importance to engineering researchers and machine designers. Traditionally …

The tribo-performance of passenger car engine oil with three friction modifiers (organic and
inorganic) has been experimentally evaluated using benchtop tribometers. Friction …

The synergistic effect of organic friction modifiers (OFMs) combining glycerol monolaurate
(GML) and tri-n-octylamine (N888) in base oil is studied by molecular dynamics simulations …

In this work, three environmentally friendly sulfur-and phosphorus-free organic
molybdenums, MODE (amide type), MGMO (ester type) and MGME (ether type) with different …

High-performance organic friction modifiers (OFMs) added to lubricating oils are crucial for
reducing energy loss and carbon footprint. To establish a new class of OFMs, we measured …

Surface moisture or humidity impacting the lubrication property is a ubiquitous phenomenon
in tribological systems, which is demonstrated by a combination of molecular dynamics (MD) …

Organic additives can mitigate wear significantly by adsorbing on rubbing steel surfaces in
mechanical contacts. Our aim is to design additives that maximize the adsorption strength …
