Perfluorotetradecanoic Acid as an Additive for Friction Reduction in Full-Film EHD Contacts: The Role of Functional Group, Base Oil Polarity, Additive Concentration and Contact Pressure

Perfluorinated tetradecanoic acid was added as an additive to a base oil and tested under full film elastohydrodynamic (EHD) contact conditions between a steel ball and a steel disc. By varying key performance parameters, we aimed to assess the feasibility and limitations of perfluorinated carboxyli...
