STRUCTURAL PROPERTIES AND MODEL RHEOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF AN ELC LAYER OF HEXADECANE

Rheological investigations of a heterophase interlayer of n-hexadecane on a conductive substrate allowed establishing the temperature dependence of the thickness of the wall ELC layer, which affects one key characteristic of a lubricant, i.e., its "hydrodynamic strength."
