Low vapor pressure and several other outstanding properties make room-temperature ionic liquids attractive candidates as lubricants for machine elements in space applications. Ensuring sufficient liquid lubricant supply under space conditions is challenging, and consequently, such tribological systems may operate in boundary lubrication conditions. Under such circumstances, effective lubrication requires the formation of adsorbed or chemically reacted boundary films to prevent excessive friction ...[more]
