Enhancing boundary friction and wear reduction through adsorption control in protic ionic liquid and carbon mixtures by Mohamed Ariffin, Nur Aisya Affrina, Lee, Chiew Tin, Lee, Mei Bao, Halid, Izzati, Hamdan, Siti Hartini, Ismail, Muhammad Izzal, Chong, William Woei Fong, Zhang, Hedong

“…Synergistic attractive cooperative interactions among the IL molecules in the presence of CNTs are identified as a key factor in enhancing adsorption efficiency. These findings provide insights into the interaction between [Oley][Oleic] and CNTs when sheared, offering a predictive framework for understanding friction and wear behaviour specific to IL-based lubricants. …”

Molecular dynamics study of confined liquid film viscosity in constant-pressure and constant-distance systems by Chen, Xingyu, Zhang, Hedong, Yokoyama, Hayata, Chong, William Woei Fong, Fukuzawa, Kenji, Itoh, Shintaro

“…This motion correlated positively with atomic vibrations of the confining surfaces. Our findings emphasize that different confinement conditions (constant pressure or constant distance) distinctly alter the liquid molecular motion and thus the magnitude of viscosity, underscoring the necessity for precise characterization of the rheological properties of confined UV-curable resins.…”

How do customers react to preferential treatment? An affective events theory and time-lagged survey by Qurat Ul Ain, Qurat Ul Ain, Lim, Weng Marc, Rasool, Shahid, Muhammad Zeshan, Muhammad Zeshan
