Molecular mechanisms of self-organization during friction: part II. orientational ordering of the supporting film during self-organization under condition of hydrodynamic lubrication

摘要

The fact that the friction force during hydrodynamic lubrication is minimal with progressively increasing load or sliding velocity was physically substantiated. This process occurs in the highspeed flow gradient with structurization of the lubricant whose oblong microparticles (molecules and colloidal particles) are ordered owing to orientation. As a result, the self-organization of supporting film takes place.
