The tribological properties of α-zirconium phosphate particles as an additive in anhydrous calcium grease were studied by using an Optimol SRV-V oscillating reciprocating tester and a four-ball tester. Fortunately, α-Zr(HPO4)·H2O (α-ZrP) grease exhibits excellent properties in anti-friction and wear-resistant, load-carrying capacity, and extreme pressure properties. Scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and 3D analysis show that α-ZrP particles appear to form a protective film allowing increased load capacity and operating frequency of the rubbed pairs. Meanwhile, α-ZrP particles can provide low friction coefficient and wear loss during a long-term test.Keywords:solid lubricants;α-Zr(HPO4)·H2O;anhydrous calcium grease

Slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) with anti-icing properties are challenged by the lubricant loss. Many strategies (such as structure optimization, lubricant improvement) are used to retain the lubricant in the porous structure. However, the matching of modifier and lubricant is rarely studied, which is another key factor for durable anti-icing performance of lubricated surfaces. Herein, proper matching of different lubricants and modifiers were investigated. Perfluoropolyether oil (PFPE) and silicone oil (SO) are chosen as lubricants. Linear alkane (OTS) and fluorinated alkane (FAS) are chosen as modifiers. A series of SLIPSs were prepared by infusing lubricants into unmodified and modified anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) surfaces. The suitable matches (OTS with SO, FAS with PFPE) make the prepared SLIPS have high water mobility and enable high affinity between the lubricant and modified AAO surface. The former contributes to improving the anti-icing performance in the simulated glaze icing test, and the latter is beneficial to improving the durability during the icing/deicing cycles. This work provides useful information to determine the suitable pairs of lubricant-modifier for durable anti-icing lubricated surfaces.

Aliphatic polyethers are synthesized byring-opening polymerization (ROP) of the most common epoxide monomers, such as ethylene oxide (EO) and propylene oxide (PO). 1,2-Butylene oxide (BO) and tetrahydrofuran (THF) are potentially extended ROP monomers, which can give polyether unique properties. In this work, a series of poly(1,2-butylene oxide- stat -tetrahydrofuran)s (PBO- stat -PTHFs) with M n of 900–3700 g·mol −1 were synthesized by cationic ring-opening polymerization (CROP) of BO with THF using strong Lewis acid Rare Earth triflates (RE(OTf) 3 ) as catalysts and diols as an initiator at room temperature. PBO- stat -PTHFs product with yield up to 90 %, narrow polydispersity of Đ <1.30, and molar ratio of PBO to PTHF 1:1 were obtained. The copolymerization process was studied by in-situ IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy analysis, and the results showed that PBO- stat -PTHF is a statistical copolymer. The early stage of the polymerization reaction was dominated by the activated chain end mechanism (ACEM), which incorporates a large amount of THF into the polymer chains. However, the late stage of the polymerization reaction was dominated by the activated monomer mechanism (AMM), which incorporates a large amount of BO into the polymer chains. Most PBO- stat -PTHFs have a suitable M n range, super high viscosity index (≥198) and low pour point (≤-53 °C), which can be used as a lubricant base oil and additives. In addition, PBO- stat -PTHFs have excellent miscibility with polyalphaolefin (PAO), which could significantly improve the PAO viscosity index. This study provides a mild route to construct high-performance copolyether materials through cationic ring-opening controllable polymerization.

The lubrication deficiency in joints is a major cause of osteoarthritis. One of the most commonly used treatment means is to inject artificial lubricants, but there is a potential risk of infection during the injection process. Therefore, developing artificial lubricants with dual functions of friction-reduction and antibacterial is urgent. In this work, a novel polysaccharide-derived lubricant with simultaneous anti-bacteria and water-lubrication properties, called CS-MPC-N, is developed by grafting 2‑methacryloyloxylethyl phosphorylcholine (MPC) and nisin peptide onto backbone of chitosan (CS). Compared to the control CS, CS-MPC-N exhibits good lubrication and friction-reduction properties because of its excellent water solubility. Especially, CS-MPC-N shows low friction coefficient (0.03 ∼ 0.05) at the sliding interfaces of artificial joints materials or even natural articular cartilages. Moreover, CS-MPC-N can effectively inhibit the proliferation of Staphylococcus aureu, exhibiting excellent antibacterial effect. This kind of novel polysaccharide-derived lubricant is expected to be used in treating infectious arthritis.

Fatty acid 2-ethylhexyl esters are used for the eco-friendly production of biolubricant. There are several reports on their synthesis, but thermodynamics and transport data of these compounds are lacking. Herein, density and viscosity of palmitic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, stearic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester and soya oil 2-ethylhexyl esters in the temperature range of T = (298.18–368.15) K at atmospheric pressure were measured and the vapor pressure in the temperature range of T = (476.95–500.85, 477.05–498.05, 477.75–500.05) K was determined. The obtained experimental data were correlated using temperature-dependence correlation equations, and the correlation coefficients of all the equations were over 0.999. In order to examine the reliability of the data, the GCVOL group method was used to evaluate densities for these fatty acid 2-ethylhexyl esters with the maximum relative deviation of −1.34%. The experimental viscosity data of synthesized 2-ethylhexyl esters were compared with those of lauric acid 2-ethylhexyl ester, palmitic acid n-octyl ester and oleic acid 2-ethylhexyl ester from previous studies. In addition, the molar enthalpy of vaporization at the mean temperature of the experimental range was calculated for the first time using the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.

Osteoarthritis (OA), primarily characterized by the deterioration of articular cartilage, is a highly prevalent joint-disabling disease. The pathological onset and progression of OA are closely related to cartilage lubrication dysfunction and synovial inflammation. Synergistic options targeted at restorative lubrication and anti-inflammation are expected to be the most attractive candidates to treat OA and perhaps help prevent it. Herein, a bioinspired lubricant (HA/PA@Lipo) was fabricated by combining anionic hyaluronan-graft-poly(2-acrylamide-2-methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt) (HA/PA) with cationic liposomes (Lipo) via electrostatic interaction. HA/PA@Lipo mimicked the lubrication complex located on the outer cartilage surface and was endowed cartilage with excellent cartilage-lubricating performances. After the antioxidant gallic acid (GA) was loaded for dual functionality, HA/PA@Lipo-GA was prepared with added anti-inflammatory properties. HA/PA@Lipo-GA showed favorable biocompatibility with C28/I2 cells, inhibited the production of reactive oxygen, and regulated the expression levels of anabolic genes and proteins. The therapeutic effects of HA/PA@Lipo-GA were evaluated using a sodium iodoacetate–induced OA rat model, and the preventive effects of HA/PA@Lipo-GA were estimated in vivo. The results suggested the robust potential of HA/PA@Lipo-GA with dual functions as a candidate option for OA treatment and prevention.

In this paper, a group of quaternary ammonium amino acid ionic liquids (QAAA ILs) prepared by coupling the tetrabutylammonium cation with fourteen types of natural amino acids as base lubricant were investigated for steel/steel, steel/copper and steel/aluminum contacts at ambient temperature and elevated temperature. The corrosion resistance and tribological ability of various QAAA ILs was determined. The influences of various anionic structures on kinematic viscosity , corrosivity , thermal stability and tribological properties of the ILs were discussed in detailed. The copper strip corrosion test results showed that the present ILs have been proved to be almost non-corrosive. Tribological behaviors results displayed that the present ILs exhibit extremely eminent friction reduction and antiwear properties. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that a protective lubricating film is formed on the surface of contact mainly through a polarity induced physical adsorption when QAAA ILs are selected as neat lubricants, which plays a key role in reducing friction and wear between the moving mechanical interface.

Superlubricity is defined as a sliding regime in which friction, or the resistance to sliding of two relatively moving surfaces, almost vanishes. From a practical point of view, the development and use of new materials that can enable superlubricity (coefficient of friction, COF < 0.01) in moving mechanical systems will have huge positive impact on energy-saving and emission reduction. In this work, the use of a new two-dimensional material, black phosphorus (BP) as a high-performance water-based lubricant additive that can significantly reduce friction and achieve superlubricity has been explored. A lowest COF value of 0.0006 ever measured by an application-orientated ball-on-plate tribometer has been found. Robust superlubricity in the aqueous solution with ultrafine BP nanosheets modified by NaOH (BP-OH) has been observed for a wide range of additive concentrations, contact pressures, and sliding velocities owing to the very low shear resistance of the water layer retained by BP-OH nanosheets. This finding has the potential of opening up a new approach to dramatically reduce or even eliminate friction by using BP nanomaterials as lubricant additives.

Improving the tribological performance of water via designing nanomaterials as lubricant additive has garnered mounting interest. In this work, the poly-(N-isopropylacrylamide) microgel is grafted onto Fe 3 O 4 nanoparticles surface (Fe 3 O 4 @PNA) via free radical polymerization. Then, the Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can self-anchored on the MXene nanosheets via hydrogen bonding interaction to obtain MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA composite. The as-prepared MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can effectively reduce friction and wear when used as a water-based lubricant additive. Compared with pure water, the average coefficient of friction (COF) and wear volume decrease by 61% and 78.7%, respectively. The lubrication mechanism was analyzed by focused ion beam technique-TEM (FIB-TEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The outstanding tribological performance of MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA is attributed to the synergistic lubrication effect of MXene and Fe 3 O 4 @PNA. Interlayer shear of MXene and spherical Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can make MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA play a full role of sliding friction and rolling friction mechanism, which can induce tribo-chemical reactions to form a protective film on the contact area of the friction pair. In addition, the hydrophilic groups of the MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA can adsorb a large number of water molecules and form a hydration layer, reducing the agglomeration of nanosheets and acting as a boundary lubrication film. Moreover, the as-prepared MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA exhibit excellent photothermal conversion performance in both underwater environment and dry state. Based on this characteristic, infrared light can be collected efficiently and stored quickly. Then, convert and utilize it. Therefore, the multifunctional MXene@Fe 3 O 4 @PNA has a broad application prospect as a water-based intelligent lubrication additive.

Although the slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPSs) exhibit highly antifouling performance against various working liquids, the loss of lubricant always deteriorates their long-term durability. Herein, a spongy composite of polyvinylidene difluoride (PVDF) and hydrangea-type perfluorooctyltrimethoxysilane (POTS)-modified mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSNs) has been successfully prepared via the spraying method and used as the substrate for SLIPSs, which exhibits satisfactory storage and lock capacities for lubricant to enhance its durable antifouling performances. After infusing perfluoropolyether (PFPE) into the spongy substrate, a stable POTS-MSNs@PVDF@PFPE is prepared, which exhibits high amphiphobic performances (WSA of 1.68 ± 1.13° and OSA of 5.99 ± 1.34°) and high repellence to various working liquids, indicating its high antifouling performance. The long freezing time of 121.50 s and the low ice-adhesion strength of 25.67 kPa also indicate its high anti-icing performances. Furthermore, the high stability of POTS-MSNs@PVDF@PFPE after various thermal, chemical, and mechanical testing indicates its satisfactory durability. Actually, the abundant micropores of POTS-MSNs@PVDF provide adequate space for locking PFPE, thus prolonging its antifouling performances. This study provides an insight into the development of SLIPSs capable of maintaining long-term antifouling performance in harsh environments.

Inspired by Nepenthes pitcher plants, slippery liquid-infused porous surfaces (SLIPS) have recently attracted increasing attention for directional transport and movement manipulation of water droplets. Nevertheless, infused lubricants are generally instable and easy to deviate from such surfaces during applications, resulting in the lost control on the fog capture and motion of droplets as well as serious risk of water safety. Here, a highly stable SLIPS with improved lubricant storage is developed through the structure design of synergistically constructing regular micro-pincushion and nanoparticles. Notably, on the basis of the microstructure, the presence of nano-architecture shows great contribution to obviously increased capillary force as well as suppressed lubricant loss during water collection. Featuring the stable surface-slippery property, the biomimetic SLIPS displays well maintained dropwise coalescence of water from fog and efficient water harvesting performance. The water collection efficiency is as high as 852 mg cm–2 h–1 and is stable within continuous 20 h application. This fundamental illustration of structural synergism can be further applied to construct more new water manipulation and harvesting platforms with stably slippery surfaces/interfaces.

The flexible manipulation of underwater gas bubbles on solid substrates has attracted considerable research interest from scientists in the fields of water electrolysis, bubble microreactions, drug delivery, and heat transfer. Inspired by the oxygen-binding mechanisms of aquatic organisms, scientists have designed a series of interfacial materials for use in collecting gases, detecting and grading bubbles, and conducting microbubble reactions. Aerophilic surfaces are commonly used in underwater bubble manipulation platforms due to their excellent gas-trapping properties. However, during bubble transport, some of the bubbles are retained in the rough structure of the aerophilic surface and cause gas loss, which in the long run reduces the gas transport function. In addition, the aerophilic surface is prone to failure in high-humidity and high-pressure underwater environments. The lubricant-infused surface features an oil layer that remains stable on a rough substrate and is immiscible with water. Additionally, the bubbles are transported over the oil layer without causing losses other than those dissolved in water. These attributes make it more favorable than the aerophilic surface. Inspired by the unique properties of Nepenthes and cactus spines, we developed a patterned slippery surface [patterned lubricant-infused surface (PLIS)] through laser etching and ammonia etching that facilitates the coexistence of superaerophobic and aerophilic surfaces. The PLIS executes bubble capture utilizing a difference in wettability measuring 78°, transports bubbles through Laplace force and buoyancy, and regulates bubble release by restricting the contact area on the PLIS. The PLIS can be prepared rapidly and affordably in just about an hour, and its potential for large-scale production is high. Following tests for shear, acid and alkali resistance, and corrosion resistance, the PLIS exhibited impressive weathering resistance and appears to have potential for application in some extreme environments.
