Influence of water content on elastohydrodynamic friction and film thickness of water-containing polyalkylene glycols
Lubricants with a functional water portion have demonstrated a drastic reduction in friction under elastohydrodynamic lubrication conditions. With water-containing polyalkylene glycols, superlubricity with coefficients of friction <0.01 have been measured in model and gear contacts. In additi...
