Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

To mitigate and control friction and wear are the primary goals in tribology for a moving
mechanical system. On achieving ultra-low friction and wear, energy efficiency, performance …

Diketone is a promising oil-based superlubricity material on steel surfaces. However, the
achievement of its superlubricity is limited within a particular range of load and velocity. In …

In the present work, first, we show that sliding Nitinol 60 alloy against steel under castor oil
lubrication exhibits a new case of superlubricity (coefficient of friction CoF≪ 0.01). So far …

A high load-carrying capacity is the key to the practicality of liquid superlubricity, but it is
difficult to achieve high load and low friction simultaneously by relying solely on a liquid film …

In this work, we explored macroscale liquid superlubricity using glycerol as the base
lubricant to form aqueous solutions with different water/glycerol weight ratios. We find that …

Controlling the friction coefficient is crucial for smart friction management and the reduction
of energy consumption. The exploration of the mechanisms for regulating friction coefficients …

The clarification of the critical operating conditions and the failure mechanism of
superlubricity systems is of great significance for seeking appropriate applications in …

In this work, the lubricating performance of 1, 3-diketone oil was tested on steel surfaces with
roughness grades in three different orders of magnitude. The results indicate that 1, 3 …

We investigated the synthesis of one-dimensional nanostructures via Schiff base (imine)
formation on three close-packed coinage metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) surfaces under ultrahigh …
