This presentation summarizes our recent R&D achievements on developing a new class of candidate lubricants or oil additives ionic liquids (ILs). Features of ILs making them attractive for lubrication include high thermal stability, low vapor pressure, non-flammability, and intrinsic high polarity. When used as neat lubricants, selected ILs demonstrated lower friction under elastohydrodynamic lubrication and less wear at boundary lubrication benchmarked against fully-formulated engine oils in our bench tests. More encouragingly, a group of non-corrosive, oil-miscible ILs has recently been developed and demonstrated multiple additive functionalities including anti-wear and friction modifier when blended into hydrocarbon base oils. 1 Standards & Publications SAE MOBILUS Standards Standards Works EDGE Research Reports Scholarly Journals SAE MobilityRxiv® Books Technical Papers SAE Reading Room News & Information News Magazines SAE Press Room SAE@Home Video Series Roundtable Series SAE SmartBrief Podcasts Video Connect Events SAE Events Demo Days Student Events Education Professional Development Certifications Corporate Learning A World In Motion Participate with SAE Membership Sections SAE Connexion+ Volunteer Author Scholarships Awards Careers SAE Foundation About SAE Mission & Vision History Management Leadership Past Presidents Careers at SAE Legal & Policies Contact Us Global Affiliates SAE Brasil SAE India SAE International in China Performance Review Institute (PRI) SAE Industry Technologies Consortia TechBriefs Media Group ©2022 SAE International.
