The growth of thin lubricating films of plant oils

The extreme conditions of high pressure and shear imposed in a lubricated sliding contact could influence tribochemical reactions that could occur over long sliding distances and time scales, possibly leading to changes in both friction and film thickness. Experiments conducted with 12 plant oils re...
