Abstract

In this work, the behavior of molecules in thin-film lubricants, several tens of nanometers thick, is studied by in situ reflection infrared spectroscopy and by molecular dynamics simulations. The effect of fatty acid additives on the properties of these interfacial films is also studied. The results of these experiments are presented and interpreted, and the latest outcomes of molecular dynamics simulations are discussed. It is concluded that the molecular orientation in thin films of interfacial materials is markedly affected by the use of additives.
