Adsorption of organic friction modifiers at static and sheared interfaces
Organic friction modifiers (OFMs) are additives that can be added to engine oils to reduce friction between rubbing surfaces. OFMs are thought to reduce friction by adsorbing at engine surfaces, producing films that are conventionally thought to be one molecule thick. Although established, the …

Ethoxylated amine surfactants as model additives for engine friction reduction
The exact mechanism by which organic friction modifiers (OFMs) adsorb onto metallic surfaces and reduce friction remains debated. To optimise the use of these compounds, a precise understanding of their mechanism is essential. This knowledge will drive the development of next-generation additives, …
