Research abstract

The team of Surfaces Research and the University of Florida proposes to study novel ionic liquids as lubricants for space mechanisms, MEMS devices, and electrical contacts. Ionic liquids offer unique properties of great interest to the U.S. Air Force, including ultra-low vapor pressures, extremely low friction, and electrical conductivity. We propose fundamental materials interaction, surface chemical and microtribological studies for assessment of these novel substances. Because they have numerous chemical structures, careful assessment and selections in the present program will be performed to optimize them for maximum tribological utilization
