Additional information

Study of lubricant tribofilms’ formation kinetics will significantly increase the understanding of lubricant additive/surface interaction and their effect on friction/wear. Novel tribofilm characterisation approach in this paper provides the basis for developing the technique for tribofilm analysis in non-vacuum conditions, using Raman spectroscopy and X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy techniques. Results obtained have significantly improved lubricant development technologies for low density materials (BP Castrol/Jonathan.Green@uk.bp.com). This research led to follow-on funding: Morina/EPSRC/EP/I008519/£125k, a PhD project (Lubrizol/£80k/Mike.Sutton@Lubrizol.com) and contributed towards a EU Marie Curie Initial Training Network project (ENTICE/290077/€3,2 million). It also led to two synchrotron sessions in Diamond Light Source (SP6209 and SP6926/fred.mosselmans@diamond.ac.uk).
