| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to acquire the cross-sectional images at the interface between metal surface and lubricants by frequency-modulation atomic force microscopy (FM-AFM). In addition, physical properties of boundary layers formed by additives were evaluated by AFM with colloidal probe and disk-on-disk tribometer with narrow gap. Finally, the guideline for boundary lubrication layers for friction reduction was aimed to be proposed.
