Abstract [en]

The development of new lubricant systems compatible with modern e-drive conditions, including stray voltages and currents, has gained momentum in recent years. One of the strategies being widely evaluated to achieve these goals is the development of conductive lubricants. Greases, however, have a complex architecture that renders measurement and analysis of their electrical properties challenging; this has severely limited the implementation of the strategy for this class of materials. In this work, a measurement methodology implementing electrochemical impedance spectroscopy to evaluate the electrical properties of grease samples is introduced. Compared to the commonly used conductivity meters, this method, through its multi-frequency alternating current (AC) impedance measurement approach, is able to effectively distinguish the separate contributions of the bulk and the sample-electrode interface to the measured electrical response. Thus, the bulk conductivity of a range of greases with different electrical properties could be obtained independently of their interfacial behavior at the electrode. The temperature-dependent bulk conductivity of lithium complex grease doped with different ionic liquids and non-ionic solids (copper and carbon black powders) has accordingly been evaluated and the rather different conductivity mechanisms explained. Bulk ionic conductivity of neat ionic liquids has also been measured using a liquid sample-specific electrochemical cell, which aids in the interpretation of the ionic liquid based greases.

Abstract [en]

Developments in machine design play a crucial role in the global endeavor towards sustainability. The potential for energy conservation and emission reduction has pushed lubrication research to the forefront, with the lubricant considered to be a vital machine component. As a result of the need for high machine efficiency and longevity, as well as that of greener lubricants, ionic liquids (ILs) are gaining attention for lubrication applications, especially in combination with biodegradable oils. ILs also present a unique opportunity for developing active lubrication, tribotronic systems. To make them an industrially viable option, however, an in-depth understanding of IL lubrication behavior is required. In this doctoral work, investigations of the tribologically relevant ionic boundary films formed by non-halogenated ILs dispersed in a carrier medium (polar solvent or bio-oil) were conducted using a variety of tribological techniques and neutron reflectance. The effect of external actuation by electric potential on the extent, ionic composition, and tribological relevance of the interfacial boundary films was also studied. The results revealed that the ionic architecture and the condition of IL in the oil play an important role in defining the lubricity of the adsorbed boundary films. Clear electroresponsivity was also observed across methods, with the relative concentration of cations and anions in the interfacial film and the lubricating film thickness changing with the electric potential bias. It was established that the anions, playing an anchor role on the surface, are crucial for the formation of robust load-carrying boundary films. A methodology using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was developed for measuring and characterizing the electric conductivity of complex lubricating greases with ionic and non-ionic additives. According to these measurements, the electrical characteristics of greases depend on the interactions of IL with the grease matrix. Overall, this work contributes towards the development of sustainable lubrication and tribotronic systems using ILs.

Abstract [sv]

Utvecklingen inom ämnesområdet maskinkonstruktion spelar en avgörande roll i den globala strävan mot hållbarhet. Potentialer för energibesparing och utsläppsminskningar har drivit på forskningen om smörjmedel och smörjmedlet anses idag vara ett viktigt maskinelement. Som ett resultat av behovet av hög verkningsgrad, lång livslängd samt miljövänligare smörjmedel, har jonvätskor (eng. Ionic Liquids) fått uppmärksamhet inom smörjtillämpningar, särskilt i kombination med biologiskt nedbrytbara oljor. Jonvätskor ger även en unik möjlighet att utveckla tribotroniska system för aktiv smörjning. För att göra dem industriellt gångbara krävs dock en djupgående förståelse för jonvätskors smörjegenskaper. Inom ramen för detta doktorandprojekt genomfördes undersökningar av de smörjfilmer som bildas i kontakters gränssnitt av icke-halogenerade jonvätskor dispergerade i ett polärt lösningsmedel eller en bioolja. En mängd olika tribologiska mätinstument, bland annat neutronreflektans, användes i projektet. Smörjfilmens egenskaper under inverkan av en extern aktivering via en elektrisk potential studerades även genom att mäta filmtjocklek, jonsammansättning samt tribologisk relevans i gränsskikten. Resultaten visade att den joniska arkitekturen och tillståndet för jonvätskan i oljan spelar en viktig roll för att definiera smörjförmågan hos de adsorberade gränsfilmerna. Tydliga reaktioner på en pålagd elektrisk potential observerades genom att mäta förändringar av den relativa koncentrationen av katjoner och anjoner i gränssnittsfilmen samt smörjfilmens tjocklek. Det konstaterades att anjonerna, som fungerar som ankare på ytan, är avgörande för bildandet av robusta lastbärande gränsfilmer. En metodik som använder elektrokemisk impedansspektroskopi utvecklades för att mäta och karakterisera den elektriska ledningsförmågan hos komplexa smörjfetter med joniska och icke-joniska tillsatser. Enligt dessa mätningar beror fetters elektriska egenskaper på interaktionen mellan jonvätskan och fettmatrisen. Sammantaget bidrar detta arbete till utvecklingen av hållbara smörjmedel samt tribotroniska system där jonvätskor används.
