The short chain ILs [BMIM] Oleate and [BMIM] Phosphate were explored as lubricant additives in both polar and non-polar base oils through using the multifunctional surfactants Triton-x-100 and PIBSA respectively. The formulations were stable and showed significant reductions in friction and wear compared with the base oil alone, the [BMIM] Phosphate Triton-x-100 in the Group V base oil showed a 63% reduction in wear scar diameter similar to [BMIM] Phosphate PIBSA in the Group III base oil, and a 44% reduction in coefficient of friction which was superior to all others IL additive blends which showed evidence of tribo-chemical reactions on the steel surface.

通过分别使用多功能表面活性剂 Triton-x-100 和 PIBSA，研究了短链 IL [BMIM] 油酸盐和 [BMIM] 磷酸盐作为极性和非极性基础油中的润滑剂添加剂。配方稳定，与单独使用基础油相比，摩擦和磨损显着降低，V 组基础油中的 [BMIM] 磷酸盐 Triton-x-100 的磨痕直径减少了 63%，类似于 [BMIM] 磷酸盐PIBSA 在 III 组基础油中，摩擦系数降低 44%，优于所有其他 IL 添加剂混合物，显示出钢表面发生摩擦化学反应的证据。
