Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Lubrication by Ionic Liquids: Activated Slip and Flow

The present study provides molecular insight into the mechanisms underlying energy dissipation and lubrication of a smooth contact lubricated by an ionic liquid. We have performed normal and lateral force measurements with a surface forces apparatus and by colloidal probe atomic force microscopy on...
