Lubricants performing better in machinery systems would lead to the remarkable reduction
of environmental pollution problems and the significant improvement of fuel economy. A new …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have long been promised as environment-
friendly lubricant additives. However, their agglomeration in base oils have largely limited …

The design of adhesive and conductive soft hydrogels using biopolymers with tunable
mechanical properties has received significant interest in the field of wearable sensors for …

Supramolecular eutectogels formed by self-assembly of low molecular weight gelators in
deep eutectic solvents provides a new prospect for the development of soft ionic materials …

Perfluoropolyether (PFPE) remains a highly desirable synthetic fluid for industries like
aerospace and special machinery lubricants owing to its excellent chemical constancy …

To improve the limitations of water-based lubricants, a novel cellulose nanocrystal based
supramolecular hydrogel (CNC/x-DG/y) was prepared by mixing cellulose nanocrystal …

Although hydrogel lubricants are effective in eliminating problems caused by creeping or
leakage of conventional liquid lubricants, they are easy to encounter issues such as solvent …

Lubrication failure under heavy load condition due to the limited carrying capacity of base
lubricants usually results in catastrophic failure of mechanical systems. In this work, a class …

Although graphite derivatives, such as graphene, graphene oxide, and reduced graphene
oxide, have been widely used as lubricating oil additives to reduce friction and wear, their …

Lubricant additives even performing slightly better in machinery systems would lead in total
to the marked reduction of harmful emissions and the significant improvement of fuel …
