R. Eidenschink et Am. Hager, REDUCTION OF FRICTION THROUGH PRESMECTIC LUBRICANTS, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals science and technology. Section A, Molecular crystals and liquid crystals, 304, 1997, pp. 513-517
Surprisingly low friction losses can be realized in plain bearings lub
ricated with different 4-(trans-4-alkylcyclohexyl)-alkylbenzene Possib
le reasons for this behavior at temperatures far above the regime of o
rdered fluid phases are discussed. Limitations of application are outl
ined.
