Challenges and developments of self-assembled monolayers and polymer brushes as a green lubrication solution for tribological applications

Self-assembled monolayers (SAMs), after originally being investigated due to their functions in changing surface wettability, have been significantly developed over the years. Many types of SAMs have been developed on a variety of substrates. However their formation mechanism, rate and quality are f...
