The Effect of Lubricants and Additives on the Tribological Performance of Solids. Part 1. Passive Friction Control

摘要

The paper presents an analysis of the state of the art in research into the effect of the composition of lubricants and additives of various origin on the friction of solids. It is shown that the combined application of additives with various structure, including those containing nanomaterials, is most effective from the viewpoint of lubricity. The objective is to attain an ordered state of lubricating films with a low shear strength in the friction zone.
