SUMMARY:Friction behavior of Organic Friction Modifiers: an experimental a
 nd numerical approach - Professor Clotilde Minfray\, Ecole Centrale de Lyo

CONTACT:Catherine Pearson
DESCRIPTION:Through several examples of research studies carried out in ou
 r research group on the friction behavior of carboxylic acids or amines\, 
 our experimental and numerical approach will be presented. Diffusion of ad
 ditives in base oil will be first briefly considered. The adsorption of ad
 ditives molecules on the substrate will be then investigated through in-si
 tu adsorption experiments followed by XPS characterizations and compared t
 o DFT calculations. In-situ AFM is also carried out to understand the orga
 nization of molecules on the steel surface. The friction behavior of Organ
 ic Friction Modifier molecules in a steel-steel contact is also investigat
 ed experimentally and through Molecular Dynamics simulations.
