Reverse micelles as nanocarriers for polar friction modifiers in non-polar oils: AOT-mediated solubilization and boundary film formation

Abstract Polar organic friction modifiers can form effective boundary-lubrication films, but their limited compatibility with non-polar oils restricts their delivery to sliding interfaces. In this study, LCC was selected as a model polar additive to evaluate the ability of AOT re...
