Process of Boundary Film Formation from Fatty Acid Solution

Ultrathin-film interferometry was used to investigate the developing process of boundary films in a steel-on-silica contact lubricated by a solution of n-hexadecanoic acid dissolved in n-hexadecane. Immersion of the surfaces in the solution is not sufficient to initiate boundary film formation. Howe...
