Abstract: Friction tests with point–point contact were carried out using a microtribometer to investigate the tribological characteristics of steel/steel rubbing pair immersed in 57 kinds of esters as lubricant base oils. A set ...

Abstract: The prediction of lubrication characteristics for compounds through tribological models would aid in the discovery of new lubricant additives and improved lubricant design. But until recently, the field of tribological ...

Abstract: A series of ball–disk contact friction tests were carried out using a microtribometer to study the tribological characteristics of steel/steel rubbing pairs immersed in 47 different organic compounds as lubricant base ...

Abstract: The structures and the wear data of 47 different organic compounds as lubricant base oils were included in a comparative molecular field analysis (CoMFA) and comparative molecular similarity index analysis (CoMSIA)–quantitative ...

Abstract: The antiwear properties of ionic liquids (ILs) as lubricant additives were studied with polyethylene glycol (PEG) used as the lubricant base oil. The quantum parameters of the ILs were calculated using a Hartree–Fock ab ...

Abstract: The structural parameters of 23 ionic liquids were calculated by the Hartree–Fock ab initio method. The relationship between the antiwear properties of ionic liquids dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide and the structural ...

Abstract: The relationship between the molecular structures of lubricant additives and their antiwear properties was assessed using 36 nitrogen-containing heterocyclic organic compounds to generate quantitative structure tribo-ability ...
