Popis: A new type of boron-nitrogen-midified fatty acid as a water-based lubricant additive was prepared and the chemical structure characterised by infrared spectroscopy. The tribological properties of the additive in water were evaluated using friction testers. The morphologies and tribochemical species of worn surfaces were analysed by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The results show that the additive is very good at increasing the losdcarrying capacity and the antiwear and friction-reducing properties of wter. A lubrication mechanism is inferred in which a lhigh-strength adsorption film and a tribochemical reaction film form on the rubbing surfaces as a resuly of the carrier effect of long-chain fatty acid molecules, the high reaction activities of nitrogen, and the electron deficiency of boron, as well as the interactions of these factors.
