Temperature dependence of molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) tribofilms via time-resolved Raman spectroscopy
Abstract Molybdenum dialkyl dithiocarbamate (MoDTC) is a friction reducing additive commonly used in lubricants. MoDTC works by forming a low-friction molybdenum disulphide (MoS2) film (tribofilm) on rubbed surfaces. MoDTC-induced MoS2 tribofilms have been studied extensively ex-situ; however, there...
