AbstractThe frictional properties of ZDDP tribofilms at low entrainment speeds in boundary lubrication conditions have been studied in both rolling/sliding and pure sliding contacts. It has been found that the boundary friction coefficients of these tribofilms depend on the alkyl structure of the ZDDPs. For primary ZDDPs, those with linear alkyl chains give lower friction those with branched alkyl chain ZDDPs, and a cyclohexylmethyl-based ZDDP gives markedly higher friction than non-cyclic ones. Depending on alkyl structure, boundary friction coefficient in rolling-sliding conditions can range from 0.09 to 0.14. These differences persist over long duration tests lasting up to 120 h. For secondary ZDDPs, boundary friction appears to depend less strongly on alkyl structure and in rolling-sliding conditions stabilises at ca 0.115 for the three ZDDPs studied. Experiments in which the ZDDP-containing lubricant is changed after tribofilm formation by a different ZDDP solution or a base oil indicate that the characteristic friction of the initial ZDDP tribofilm is lost almost as soon as rubbing commences in the new lubricant. The boundary friction rapidly stabilises at the characteristic boundary friction of the replacement ZDDP, or in the case of base oil, a value of ca 0.115 which is believed to represent the shear strength of the bare polyphosphate surface. The single exception is when a solution containing a cyclohexylethyl-based ZDDP is replaced by base oil, where the boundary friction coefficient remains at the high value characteristic of this ZDDP despite the fact that rubbing in base oil removes about 20 nm of the tribofilm. XPS analysis of the residual tribofilm reveals that this originates from presence of a considerable proportion of C-O bonds at the exposed tribofilm surface, indicating that not all of the alkoxy groups are lost from the polyphosphate during tribofilm formation. Very slow speed rubbing tests at low temperature show that the ZDDP solutions give boundary friction values that vary with alkyl group structure in a similar fashion to rolling-sliding MTM tests. These variations in friction occur immediately on rubbing, before any measurable tribofilm can develop. This study suggest that ZDDPs control boundary friction by adsorbing on rubbing steel or tribofilm surfaces in a fashion similar to organic friction modifiers. However it is believed that, for primary ZDDPs, residual alkoxy groups still chemically bonded to the phosphorus atoms of newly-formed polyphosphate/phosphate tribofilm may also contribute to boundary friction. This understanding will contribute to the design of low friction, fuel efficient crankcase engine oils. Graphical Abstract

The paper introduces an alternative approach to predict boundary friction for rough surfaces at micros-scale through the empirical integration of asperity-like nanoscale friction measurements. The nanoscale friction is measured using an atomic force microscope (AFM) tip sliding on a steel plate, confining the test lubricant, i.e. base oil for the fully formulated SAE grade 10w40. The approach, based on the Greenwood and Tripp’s friction model, is combined with the modified Elrod’s cavitation algorithm in order to predict the friction generated by a slider-bearing test rig. The numerical simulation results, using an improved boundary friction model, showed good agreement with the measured friction data.

Tree frogs are remarkable for their capacity to cling to smooth surfaces using large toe pads. The adhesive skin of tree frog toe pads is characterized by peg-studded hexagonal cells separated by deep channels into which mucus glands open. The pads are completely wetted with watery mucus, which led previous authors to suggest that attachment is solely due to capillary and viscous forces generated by the fluid-filled joint between the pad and the substrate. Here, we present evidence from single-toe force measurements, laser tweezer microrheometry of pad mucus and interference reflection microscopy of the contact zone in Litoria caerulea , that tree frog attachment forces are significantly enhanced by close contacts and boundary friction between the pad epidermis and the substrate, facilitated by the highly regular pad microstructure.


It is shown that the exhibition of smooth sliding and relaxation oscillations, or ‘stick-slips’, under conditions of boundary lubrication, when frictional forces are measured by the deflexion of an elastic system, may be explained as due to the dependence of kinetic friction on velocity. In the cases giving smooth sliding, kinetic friction decreases as velocity decreases, at very low speeds; for the cases giving relaxation oscillations kinetic friction increases as velocity decreases. That is, sliding under boundary conditions is not inherently discontinuous, any discontinuous motion being due to the dynamics of the measuring instrument, and is the result of kinetic friction increasing as velocity decreases. Curves of boundary friction against velocity, using various slicing surfaces, have been determined for a number of lubricants, which show both the above-mentioned types of friction-velocity relationship; and the dependence is shown of kinetic boundary friction on molecular weight for a series of esters of the fatty acids, on percentage of fatty oil in a compounded lubricant (actually oleic acid in mineral oil) and on temperature for a pure substance and a mineral oil. The measurements with the series of esters show some agreement with results given by Fogg (1940). The mixtures of oleic acid with mineral oil give decreasing kinetic friction with increasing percentage of oleic acid right up to 100% oleic acid. The effect of temperature on the dependence of friction in velocity shows that the temperature at which relaxation oscillations first occur depends on the speed of sliding, from which it appears that measurements of the temperature at which relaxation oscillations start at constant sliding speed (Frewing 1942) are not a measure of the temperature at which there is a discontinuity in the properties of the boundary layer.

When the hydrodynamic forces in a lubricant between two sliding surfaces are insufficient to carry the load between them, the condition which occurs is one of mixed boundary and fluid lubrication. From the point of view of damage to the surfaces and of resistance to sliding, the important part is the boundary friction, which can conveniently be studied only when isolated from fluid friction. There are two methods of obtaining relatively pure boundary friction: first, to ensure that the amount of lubricant present is only sufficient to provide a boundary film, or secondly, so to control conditions of load, speed and contact area that little or no opportunity is given for fluid film formation. The relative advantages of the two methods are discussed, and apparatus is described in which the second, method is employed. In this apparatus one specimen is driven at a fixed velocity, and a second specimen is applied to it by a dead load. The force required to restrain the second specimen is measured by balancing against a variable dead load, instability being suppressed by fluid damping. A direct reading of coefficient of friction is thus obtained by a null method. Reproducibility of determinations is generally within 10%, the limiting factor being the accuracy with which exactly similar surfaces can be reproduced.
