The effect of electric potential on the lubrication of a non-halogenated phosphonium orthoborate ionic liquid used as an additive in a biodegradable oil was studied. An in-house tribotronic system was built around an instrument designed to measure lubricant film thickness between a rolling steel ball and a rotating silica-coated glass disc. The app...

Using neutron reflectivity, the electro-responsive structuring of the non-halogenated ionic liquid (IL) trihexyl(tetradecyl)phosphonium-bis(mandelato)borate, [P6,6,6,14][BMB], has been studied at a gold electrode surface in a polar solvent. For a 20% w/w IL mixture, contrast matched to the gold surface, distinct Kiessig fringes were observed for al...
Four nonhalogenated ionic liquids (ILs) based on the same phosphonium cation are investigated in terms of the anion suitability for enhancing the lubricity of a biodegradable oil. For all test conditions, typical for industrial machine components, the lubrication is shown to be governed by nonsacrificial films formed by the physisorption of ionic s...
The effect of electric potential on the lubricating adsorbed ionic films has been studied for a non-halogenated phosphonium orthoborate ionic liquid used as an additive in a biodegradable oil. A tribotronic system, designed around a ball-on-disc film thickness measurement system, was developed and manufactured in-house. This setup allowed for apply...
The development of new lubricant systems compatible with modern e-drive conditions, including stray voltages and currents, has gained momentum in recent years. One of the strategies being widely evaluated to achieve these goals is the development of conductive lubricants. Greases, however, have a complex architecture which renders measurement and a...
Neutron reflectivity (NR) measurements have been employed to study the interfacial structuring and composition of electroresponsive boundary layers formed by an ionic liquid (IL) lubricant at an electrified gold interface when dispersed in a polar solvent. The results reveal that both the composition and extent of the IL boundary layers intricately...
Aerodynamic behavior of the vehicle changes dramatically when a vehicle is modified from a closed body to a convertible vehicle. Change in the flow behavior and its effect on the vehicle road load and consequently on the fuel economy have been studied systematically from a full vehicle closed model to a convertible vehicle model. The flow patterns...
