Polymer Brushes: A Robust Lubrication System Using an Ionic Liquid Polymer Brush (Adv. Mater. Interfaces 15/2015)
Source abstract
Abstract
Nonvolatile liquids and smooth surfaces are shown to preserve polymer brushes by Y. Tsujii, T. Sato and co-workers in article number 1500187. The development of a robust low friction system has been intensively investigated to improve the lifetime and energy efficiency of mechanical systems. A smooth glass material is applied onto ionic liquid polymer brushes, resulting in low frictional properties (μmin ≈ 10−3), high load bearing (14.7 N), and repeatable measurements (4000 cycles) on the macroscale.
