Electrotunable friction with ionic liquid lubricants by Bresme, F, Kornyshev, A, Perkin, S, Urbakh, M

“…Room-temperature ionic liquids and their mixtures with organic solvents as lubricants open a route to control lubricity at the nanoscale via electrical polarization of the sliding surfaces. …”

Elastohydrodynamic lubricant flow with nanoparticle tracking by Jeffreys, S, di Mare, L, Liu, X, Morgan, N, Wong, J

“…Lubricants operating in elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contacts exhibit local variations in rheological properties when the contact pressure rises. …”

Dynamic analysis of piston secondary motion in an internal combustion engine under non-lubricated and fully flooded lubricated conditions by Mcfadden, P, Turnbull, SR

“…A dynamic model is presented for the internal combustion engine in which the primary motion of the pistons is determined by the gas pressure in the cylinders rather than by an assumed steady rotation of the crank, and the secondary motion of the pistons is determined by the interaction of the pistons with the cylinder walls under non-lubricated and fully flooded lubricated conditions. …”

Supramolecular synergy in the boundary lubrication of synovial joints by Seror, J, Zhu, L, Goldberg, R, Day, A, Klein, J

“…Hyaluronan, lubricin and phospholipids, molecules ubiquitous in synovial joints, such as hips and knees, have separately been invoked as the lubricants responsible for the remarkable lubrication of articular cartilage; but alone, these molecules cannot explain the extremely low friction at the high pressures of such joints. …”

Lubrication models with small to large slip lengths by Munch, A, Wagner, B, Witelski, T

“…A set of lubrication models for the thin film flow of incompressible fluids on solid substrates is derived and studied. …”

Droplets on lubricated surfaces: the slow dynamics of skirt formation by Dai, Z, Vella, D

“…A key question in the interaction of droplets with lubricated and liquid-infused surfaces is what determines the apparent contact angle of droplets. …”

Are ionic liquids good boundary lubricants? A molecular perspective by Lhermerout, R, Diederichs, C, Perkin, S

“…The aim of this review is to summarize the main findings about frictional behavior of ionic liquids in the boundary lubrication regime. We first recall why the unusual properties of ionic liquids make them very promising lubricants, and the molecular mechanisms at the origin of their lubricating behavior. …”

Interpretation of pipe-jacking and lubrication records for drives in silty soil by O'Dwyer, KG, McCabe, BA, Sheil, BB

“…While average skin friction values are extremely low for both drives suggesting effective lubrication practice, differences in normalised bentonite volumes appear to be responsible for differences in skin friction. …”
