Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

In pursuit of energy efficiency and durability throughout human history, advances in
lubricants have always played important roles. Ionic liquids (ILs) are room-temperature …

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 …

Government legislation and public opinion are the main drivers behind the movement of
manufacturing companies towards sustainable production. Fundamentally, companies want …

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 …

Current research on room-temperature ionic liquids as lubricants is described. Ionic liquids
possess excellent properties such as non-volatility, non-flammability, and thermo-oxidative …

In recent years, hard turning has been found to be a well-known substitute for traditional
grinding for acquiring the finish quality of hardened steel without sacrificing productivity …

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
