... aims to introduce highly effective lubricating materials to enhance the tribological performance of the PJBs. Design/methodology/approach 1,3-diketone fluid EPND (1–(4-ethyl phenyl) nonane-1,3-dione), a so-called “superlubricity material,” was introduced as a friction modifier into two base oils...

.... Design/methodology/approach In a representative study, zinc dialkyl-dithiophosphate and dithiophosphate were elaborated in combination with two different friction modifiers, a glycerol monooleate and an organic friction modifier. As base oils, mineral oil and poly alpha olefine were used. The adsorption...
