Molecular behaviors in thin film lubrication—Part three: Superlubricity attained by polar and nonpolar molecules

Abstract In thin-film lubrication (TFL), generally, the viscosity of the lubricant and its coefficient of friction (CoF) increase. Finding a method to reduce the CoF in TFL is a significant challenge for tribologists. In the present work, we report a robust superlubricity attained by using polyalkyl...
