“…Using data on a large sample of nations over 2018–2020 and considering corruption, regulatory quality, and state fragility as alternative institutional dimensions, our results show that greater corruption facilitates (“greases”) efficiency in the production of innovations. …”

“…The performance of tribological and rheological tests is of great scientific importance, as it provides an insight into the interaction of siliceous additives with the results of tribological tests on vegetable-oil-based greases. These findings make it possible to determine the behaviour of the lubricant under load and add to the knowledge of vegetable greases.…”

“…ILs are thermally stable, non-flammable highly polar fluids with negligible volatility, these characteristics make them ideal candidates for new lubricants under severe conditions, were conventional oils and greases or solid lubricants fail. Such conditions include ultra-high vacuum and extreme temperatures. …”

“…Consideration is given to the Sisko fluid model, which can forecast both Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid properties. Lubricating greases are the best examples of Sisko fluids. Experimental research shows that most realistic fluids, including human blood, paint, dirt, and other substances, correspond to Sisko’s proposed definition of viscosity. …”

“…Such materials are of significant worldwide industrial importance in applications such as solvents, chemical intermediates, surfactants, lubricating oils, hydraulic fluids, and greases. We model both liquids and waxy solids for molecules up to 36 carbons in size and demonstrate that we can correctly capture both the freezing transition and liquid-phase densities in pure substances and mixtures. …”

“…We demonstrate a 3D graphene-nanowire “sandwich” thermal interface that enables an ultralow thermal resistance of ∼0.24 mm(2)·K/W that is about 1 order of magnitude smaller than those of solders and several orders of magnitude lower than those of thermal greases, gels, and epoxies, as well as a low elastic and shear moduli of ∼1 MPa like polymers and foams. …”

“…In contrast to many existing surrogate surface designs, the ATSS utilizes a three-dimensional deposition surface that may more closely mimic the physical structure of many natural surfaces than traditional flat surrogate surface designs (water, filter, greased Mylar film). The ATSS has been designed to overcome several complicating factors that can impact the integrity of samples with other direct measurement approaches by providing a passive system which can be deployed for both short and extended periods of time (days to weeks), and is not contaminated by precipitation and/or invalidated by strong winds. …”
