Lubricant evolution and depletion under laser heating : a molecular dynamics study by Li, Yong, Wong, Chee How, Li, Bei, Yu, Shengkai, Hua, Wei, Zhou, Weidong

“…A temperature gradient is formed in the radial direction due to the heat transfer between the heated beads and the surrounding lubricants. During the cooling process, the strong functional interaction between end-beads and the substrate layer hinders the recovery and redistribution of depleted lubricant beads, resulting in an undersaturated film. …”

Electrode modification by diazonium chemistry : studies on the effect of steric bulk on film thickness, and modified activated carbon cloths for energy storage by Subrata, Arnold

“…GC–TMA), using the precursor to the diazonium salt, 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD). Chapter 2 focuses on the formation of GC–TMA and its extensive characterization using electrochemical and spectroscopic techniques, with the aim of addressing the above problem of multilayer formation since TMPD bears a fully substituted aryl ring, thus preventing the multilayer-forming side reactions due to steric hindrance. …”
