Molecular behaviors in thin film lubrication—Part one: Film formation for different polarities of molecules

Abstract There are three unsolved problems in thin film lubrication (TFL) since it was proposed 20 years ago, i.e., the determination of the type of molecules that can enter the contact region efficiently during sliding, the orientation of molecules in the contact region, and the effect of solid sur...
