Some solid lubricants are characterized by a layered structure with weak (van der Waals) inter-interlayer forces which allow for easy, low-strength shearing. Solid lubricants in natural lubrication are characterized by phospholipid bilayers in the articular joints and phospholipid lamellar phases in synovial fluid. The influence of the acid–base properties of the phospholipid bilayer on the wettability and properties of the surface have been explained by studying the interfacial tension of spherical lipid bilayers based on a model membrane. In this paper, we show that the phospholipid multi-bilayer can act as an effective solid lubricant in every aspect, ranging from a ‘corrosion inhibitor’ in the stomach to a load-bearing lubricant in bovine joints. We present evidence of the outstanding performance of phospholipids and argue that this is due to their chemical inertness and hydrophilic–hydrophobic structure, which makes them amphoteric and provides them with the ability to form lamellar structures that can facilitate functional sliding. Moreover, the friction coefficient can significantly change for a given phospholipid bilayer so it leads to a lamellar-repulsive mechanism under highly charged conditions. After this, it is quickly transformed to result in stable low-friction conditions.

Cast iron (FC and NCM) and forged steel (ST) discs, and four types of sintered friction material pads have been employed in the braking systems of Japanese high-speed trains. These sintered friction materials have complex microstructures. This paper reports result of an investigation to establish correlations between friction, wear and temperature characateristics of the disc–pad friction pairs and pad microstructure. A scale friction rig was used to examine friction, wear and temperature performance of the selected brake friction pairs. Area fraction of lubricants in the sintered friction materials was, depending on formulation, in the range 30–47%. It was found that increasing the lubricant area fraction up to 40%, was effective in reducing pad wear. Above 40% lubricant, wear rate either remained constant or increased slightly to decrease pad wear. For FC discs wear was a minimum at 40% lubricant whilst wear drecreased with increasing overall lubricant content for NCM discs and wear was unaffected by variation in lubricant content for the ST discs. The harder ST forged steel discs exhibited less wear than the softer FC and NCM cast irons.
