Towards rational design of nanoscale lubricants and elucidation of the hydration lubrication mechanism using molecular simulation

Nanoscale devices featuring surfaces in sliding contact are found in applications ranging from biocompatible materials for joint replacement to the next generation of hard disk drive technologies. While several approaches to lubricating such systems have been proposed, as well as successfully implem...
