E-Book Overview
The premier symposium on <EM>Surfactants in Tribology, held in Seoul in 2006, was an enormously successful event that generated a high level of interest in the topic, leading to the publication of the first volume in this series in 2008. The tremendous response was echoed at the follow-up symposium in Berlin that same year, and leading researchers, many of whom participated in the second event, were invited to submit chapters for <STRONG>Surfactants in Tribology, Volume Two. Reflecting the cumulative wisdom of a contingent of researchers, this text explores all-new topics critical to the future of tribology.
<STRONG>
Topics discussed in this second volume include:
- Properties of silane, thio, phthalocyanine and phospholipid films, membranes, grafts, and SAMs on gold, silica, and graphite substrates
- Water/oil emulsions used as oil-well drilling fluids
- Properties of organized surfactant assemblies and aqueous solutions of alkyl polyglucosides
- Surfactants as demulsifiers in enhanced crude oil production from old wells
- Oil/water emulsions with biobased surfactants
- The synthesis of novel biobased materials
- Properties of biobased lubricants and surfactants
- Modeling and statistical predictive methods in the development of biobased lubricants
- The fundamentals of surface chemistry at tribological interfaces
- The role of surface science in magnetic recording tribology
- Antiwear and friction modifier compounds for automotive applications
- Surfactants as antimicrobial agents in lubricants
Tribological phenomena are of significant importance in a host of industries ranging from simple products to high-tech devices. This volume and its predecessor reflect the sage contributions of a cadre of experts who report on current possibilities and future potential for harnessing surfactants to control tribological behavior.
