Tribological capabilities of chiral nematic liquid crystal additives in mineral motor oil

This article presents the results of experimental investigation of tribological properties of commercial mineral motor oil with chiral nematic (also known as twisted nematic or cholesteric) liquid crystal additives. Cholesteryl stearate and valerate (fatty acid cholesterol esters) liquid crystals we...
