Abstract
The normal and lateral forces of WS2 IFs dispersed in tetradecane and confined between mica surfaces were characterized by using the surface forces apparatus. The IFs particles were present between the surfaces even at high pressures. The mechanism of friction and wear reduction was shown to involve in situ deposition of highly oriented, ultrathin WS2 layers without exposure to the ambient air.
