Room-temperature ionic liquids and their mixtures with organic solvents as lubricants open
a route to control lubricity at the nanoscale via electrical polarization of the sliding surfaces …

In modern electric equipment, especially electric vehicles, inverter control systems can lead
to complex shaft voltages and bearing currents. Within an electric motor, many parts have …

Research on the effects of applied electrical potential on friction and wear, a topic
sometimes termed “Triboelectrochemistry”, has been reviewed. Historically, most such …

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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are room temperature molten salts that possess preeminent
physicochemical properties and have shown great potential in many applications. However …

Lubrication properties of imidazolium and phosphonium bis (oxalato) borate ionic liquids
(ILs) are compared in a reciprocating sliding contact at 80° C and 140° C. Both the influence …

As a favorable candidate for the next‐generation smart electronic devices, thermo‐
responsive dielectric materials are faced with two crucial challenges: insufficient mechanical …

Solvent-free ionic nanofluids with a core–shell structure were successively synthesized via
functionalizing silica nanoparticles with a charged corona and ionically tethering with …

The effect of electric potential on the lubrication of a non-halogenated phosphonium
orthoborate ionic liquid used as an additive in a biodegradable oil was studied. An in-house …

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to measure the friction of a stainless steel surface
lubricated with six different ionic liquids (ILs). The measurements reveal that, contrary to …
