“…In addition, these studies are well matched to studies by molecular simulation, that is significantly progressed with the dramatic development of large-scale computer systems in recent times. 72,73) Moreover, the application of NR and/or FM-AFM is already widespread for analysis of "actual" additives having a more complicated chemical structure 74) though the target of case examples introduced in this review are only model additives. The combined use of NR and FM-AFM is promising for further elucidation of the actual boundary lubrication mechanism.…”

Boundary lubrication is one of the most interesting topics in the field of tribology, and many studies have been conducted in the past to gain deeper understanding of the behaviour of boundary lubrication layers formed by additives mixed in lubricants because the layer largely affects the tribological property of the target surface. With a strong demand to clarify the behaviour of boundary lubrication layers, several new approaches to in situ (=in lubricant) analysis have been proposed and applied. This paper focuses on the effectiveness of combined use of neutron reflectometry and frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy for the quantitative analysis of boundary lubrication layers formed at the interface between the metal substrate and lubricant and introduced their application with concrete case examples.
