Transfer Layers: A Comparison across SWNTs, DWNTs, Graphite, and an Ionic Fluid

Lubrication is the science of friction at moving interfaces. Nanomaterials acting as interfacial modifiers can minimize friction and thereby improve energy efficiency. To test this hypothesis, single- (SWNT) and double-walled (DWNT) carbon nanotubes and an ionic fluid are tested individually and c...
