Mechano-chemical decomposition of organic friction modifiers with multiple reactive centres induces superlubricity of ta-C

The mechanism underlying the superlubricity of tetrahedral amorphous carbon coatings lubricated with organic friction modifiers is still under debate. Here the authors combine experiments and simulations to reveal that superlubricious layers form due the mechano-chemical decomposition of friction mo...
