Macroscale superlubricity is a prospective strategy in modern tribology to dramatically
reduce friction and wear of mechanical equipment; however, it is mainly studied for point-to …

The review summarizes the literature data and the authors' own research results on the
application of liquid crystals in tribology. It has been shown that both thermotropic (calamitic …

Tribotronics represents the modulation of friction via an external electric potential, a field with
promising ramifications for intelligent devices, precision manufacturing, and biomedical …

This work deals with the development of oleogels based on conventional (SO) and high-
oleic sunflower (HOSO) vegetable oils and ethylene–vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) for …

Liquid crystals (LCs) are considered attractive lubricating materials due to their controllable
molecular alignment and rheological behavior using an external electric field or a surface …

(4-ethylphenyl)-nonane-1, 3-dione (0206) is an oil-soluble liquid molecule with rod-like
structure. In this study, the chelate (0206-Fe) with octahedral structure was prepared by the …

Several rheological studies of ionic liquids and ionic liquid crystals were performed to
describe the measured low coefficients of friction (μ≈ 0.02) in reciprocating sliding tests …

Hypothesis Aqueous lubricants exhibit versatile advantages over oil-based lubricants.
However, it still remains a challenge for the aqueous solutions to obtain excellent lubrication …

This paper highlights the lubricating and film-forming behaviors of diketone and surface
characteristics of tribopairs after the friction test. An ultralow friction coefficient of 0.007 is …

Molecular orientation of the lubricating film will affect the lubrication state, especially in
boundary lubrication. In this work, electrical field was used to affect the orientation of liquid …
