Cover Story: Engine lubricants contain various additives and their interactions with solid surfaces can induce synergistic or antagonistic effects in tribological performance. In this study, sum frequency generation spectroscopy was used to investigate competitive adsorption of lubricant additives on a solid/lubricant interface. The lubricant additives studied were two oil-soluble ionic liquids, an anti-wear additive, a friction modifier, and a dispersant. The results of this study clearly showed that adsorption of an additive at the solid surface was affected by others present in the lubricant. This investigation provided interfacial insights helpful to design the formulation of new lubricant additives of desired properties.
