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 …
Due to ever increasing demands on lubricants, such as increased service intervals, reduced volumes and reduced emissions, there is a need to develop new lubricants and improved …
Many factors tend to influence the increased demand in recent years, including state-of-the- art of effective and environmentally benign lubricants. More importantly, managing volatile …
Unique synergistic effects between phosphonium-alkylphosphate ionic liquids and zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) are discovered when used together as lubricant additives …
Phosphonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (P-RTILs) offer outstanding lubricant properties. Studies have shown that the cationic chain length and anionic ring size …
This paper reports the anti-scuffing/anti-wear behavior and mechanism of an oil-miscible ionic liquid (IL), trihexyltetradecylphosphonium bis (2-ethylhexyl) phosphate, in a base oil at …
