In this review, I summarize recent experimental investigations of surface and friction forces between bottle-brush structure macromolecules including biolubricants and biomimetic ones by direct force measurements. I also discuss recent experimental investigations of synergy in lubrication in which a question, “How do lubricants act together?”, is aimed to be answered. Lastly, challenges and opportunities for developing efficient lubricating systems are outlined.

瓶刷聚合物层之间的表面力

在这篇综述中，我总结了通过直接力测量对包括生物润滑剂和仿生物质在内的瓶刷结构大分子之间的表面和摩擦力进行的最新实验研究。我还将讨论最近在润滑中协同作用的实验研究，旨在回答“润滑剂如何共同起作用？”的问题。最后，概述了开发高效润滑系统的挑战和机遇。
