| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To obtain artificial lubricant, DNA oriented from flora is expected to be alternative material of lubricant. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is one of the potential method to increase molecule. It was expected that in-situ observation of those DNA included lubricant with friction test could unearth the effect of those DNA on reduction of friction coefficient. Some of functional group is expected to absorb on a glass surface, then it acts to reduce friction force. To clarify the effect of those DNA on reduction of friction force, measurement of those absorbed materials by ultra-violet light is potential method to proof an existence of those absorbed molecule.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
地球資源の搾取型潤滑システムは石油採掘量がゼロになることで終焉を迎えることが危惧されており，潤滑油代替材料の模索は人類にとって必要不可欠な課題である．本研究で明らかにした潤滑物質の創製はトライボロジー分野にとって搾取型から生産型への転換を意味し，将来潤滑油が枯渇する問題を根底から解決するものである．
