DOI: 10.1007/s11249-017-0836-6
Abstract: Abstract Molybdenum dialkyldithiocarbamates (MoDTCs) are very effective friction modifier additives for use in engine oils and other lubricants. However, as engine oils age during extended drain intervals, MoDTCs can lose some or all of their… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/coatings14060773
Abstract: Tribochemically produced triboproducts are becoming increasingly important in tribosystems and serve to improve system performance by preventing friction or wear. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is chemically stable, which features a trade-off with tribological pros and cons.… read more here.
