Ceramic lubrication: vapor phase tribopolymerization and a new high speed, high load pin-on-disk machine

An experimental study of ceramic lubrication through the concept of tribopolymerization from the vapor phase is presented. Four vinyl monomer additives were studied, i.e., vinyl acetate, diallyl phthalate, lauryl methacrylate, and vinyl octadecyl ether. The liquid additives were heated, vaporized, a...
