Molecular Friction Mechanisms Across Nanofilms of a Bilayer-Forming Ionic Liquid
The prevailing paradigm in boundary lubrication asserts, in essence, that surfaces coated in amphiphiles slide past each other by way of the "slippery" exposed alkyl chains while the polar head group remains anchored at the surface. Here we show, for ionic liquid boundary lubricants, that...
