Ionic liquids (ILs) have emerged as potential lubricants in 2001. Subsequently, there has
been tremendous research interest in ILs from the tribology society since their discovery as …

The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

Lubricants have played important roles in friction and wear reduction and increasing
efficiency of mechanical systems. To optimize tribological performance, chemical reactions …

Phosphonium-based room temperature ionic liquids (P-RTILs) offer outstanding lubricant
properties. Studies have shown that the cationic chain length and anionic ring size …

In this work, seven amino acid ionic liquids (AAILs) were synthesized and used as
lubricating additives for water. The experimental results revealed that the friction coefficient …

Two oil-soluble ionic liquids N, N-trimethyl-N-hexadecyl ammonium bis (2-ethylhexyl)
phosphate (NP-16)) and 1, 2-bis-N, N-dimethyl-N-cetylammonium bis (2-ethylhexyl) …

A series of new halogen-free dicationic ionic liquids (ILs) with different alkyl chain lengths
were prepared, and the relationship between the alkyl chain length, physicochemical and …

Improved lubrication parameters of lubricating oils due to the addition of carbon nanotubes
(CNT) have been demonstrated in the past. This benefit, however, is short-lived due to self …

A new type of lubricating material (BTA-P4444-Lig) was synthesized by combining lignin
with tetrabutylphosphorus and benzotriazole. The tribological properties, corrosion …

This paper presents the synthesis and characterization of two types of halogen-free ionic
liquids (ILs) that incorporate long-chain phosphate, diisooctyl phosphate (EDHPA), and …
