DOI: 10.1016/j.triboint.2019.105920
Abstract: Abstract Lubricity improver additives are adsorbed on sliding surfaces and form boundary films. Although for most additives, the films are monolayers, multilayer adsorption does occur in tribological contacts. However, to date, the isotherms adopted to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/02670844.2019.1620442
Abstract: ABSTRACT Automobile engines consume more than 30% of fuel energy as frictional power waste. Therefore, this paper investigated the tribological properties of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) as a nano-additive to improve the wear and friction trends… read more here.
