Abstract:Friction and wear are ubiquitous in moving mechanical systems, and achieving vanishing friction and wear could significantly improve energy efficiency and extend the service life of mechanical components. In this paper, various diols, viz. ethylene glycol (EG), 1,3-propanediol (13-PD), and 1,2-propdiol (12-PD), have been selected to be mixed with glycerol for superlubricity performance. The results show that the lubricant mixture of EG and glycerol (EG/glycerol) and the mixture of 13-PD and glycerol (13-PD/gly… Show more
