Tribological Performance of a Lipoic Acid-Based Quaternary Phosphonium Salt as a Water-Based Lubricant Additive

Abstract To develop the lubricating performance of water-based lubricants, we synthesized a lipoic acid quaternary phosphonium salt (SP) as a water-soluble lubrication additive. This study aims to enhance the tribological performance of steel tribosystems by using an SP additive....
