| Research Abstract |
Nano-carbon dispersing ionic liquid gel was produced from the mixture of carbon onion of nano-carbon and the imidazolium salt based ionic liquid. The tribological properties of the gel embedded in epoxy resin were characterized with a ball-on-disk type tribometer. As a result, the gel showed the friction coefficients as low as 0.1 and 0.06 in air and vacuum, respectively. Moreover, the gel exhibited superior lubricity comparing with ionic liquid itself as the normal force increased.
