Highly graphitized carbonaceous transfer tribofilms tribo-catalyzed by slightly water-soluble additives for reducing friction and wear of polylactic acid

Puntos clave

• Reduced friction and wear are achieved through tribofilms made from graphitized carbonaceous materials.
• Key metrics indicate a notable decrease of up to 30% in friction coefficients with additives.
• Assessment using tribological testing demonstrates the effectiveness of these tribofilms compared to standard materials.
• Potential application in sustainable materials highlights the need for further studies on long-term durability.
