Iodocyclization of propargyl alcohols is an active area for the construction of hetero/carbocyclic iodides. Ambiphilic reactivity of propargyl alcohols made it more attractive …
Ionic liquids (ILs) are potential lubricant additives that can potentially perform simultaneously as friction modifiers and anti-wear agents. In addition, they possess good thermal stability …
Polyacrylamide (PAAm) hydrogels are excellent synthetic materials for in vitro biotribology studies. Recent work with hydrogels sliding in a Gemini contact has revealed unique friction …
In this paper, the boundary and elastohydrodynamic lubricating behaviour of glycerol and its aqueous solutions are discussed in both rolling and sliding contacts with a view on …
Subtle details about a polyelectrolyte's surrounding environment can dictate its structural features and potential applications. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), surface forces …
Rough hydrophobic surfaces have many applications in industry and technology. An experimental study was done on the spreading dynamics of different concentrations of …
Interfacial sliding speed and contact pressure between the sub-units of particulate soft matter assemblies can vary dramatically across systems and with dynamic conditions. By …
Nonequilibrium molecular dynamics (NEMD) simulations have been used to examine the structure and friction of stearic acid films adsorbed on iron surfaces with nanoscale …
