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 …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are a class of non-conventional solvents, which, for almost two decades,
have continued to generate burgeoning interest in different fields of present-day chemical …

Abstract Graphene (G)(0.005 wt%), the ionic liquid (IL) 1-octyl-3-methylimidazolium
tetrafluoroborate (5 wt%) or a 5 wt% dispersion of 0.1 wt% graphene in IL (IL+ G) have been …

Ionic liquids (ILs) are next generation solvents which are synthesized by organic salts,
possess negligible vapour pressure and have low flammability. They possess high thermal …

The effectiveness of surface-active ionic liquids (SAILs) as lubricant additives in both polar
and apolar base liquids has been investigated on stainless steel surfaces at both …

All the moving components in an internal combustion engine require a lubricant that allows
smooth sliding and/or rolling of interacting surfaces. Lubricant not only minimizes the friction …

This research compares the environmental properties (bacterial toxicity and
biodegradability) of 12 ionic liquids-ILs-(7 phosphonium, 2 imidazolium and 3 ammonium …

Graphene merges properties such as high conductivity and outstanding mechanical
performance. In tribology, it is expected to be an excellent solid lubricant at both the macro …

This paper studies the tribological behavior of the ionic liquid methyltrioctylammonium bis
(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide ([N 1888][NTf 2]) as additive at different concentrations (1.25 …

The tribological properties of ionic liquids (ILs) have been widely investigated, and their
excellent performance has been acknowledged by many researchers. However, their …
