They were evaluated by a ball-on-flat type tribo-test under reciprocating motion. Tetraalkylammonium and tetraalkylphosphonium salts of N-protected aspartic acid was dissolved in 1-alkyl-3-methylimidzolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide. They prevented wear remarkably and reduced friction considerably. The salt of N-protected glutamic acid prevented wear but did not reduce friction under the conditions we have evaluated. A new model of boundary film composed of liquid clathrate structure is proposed herein.}, pages = {300--301}, title = {Aspartic Acid-derived Wear-preventing and Friction-reducing Agents for Ionic Liquids}, volume = {37}, year = {2008} }
