In an international SCI journal, we published the results of the impact of oil viscosity on tribological response of DLC coatings, and we systematically evaluated the unusual tribological behavior of these surfaces in comparison with conventional engineering materials, eg. steel.

Paper deals with the DLC coatings used on piston shoes under real scale conditions. We do not present mechanisms, but an important practical property: long term performance under real scale and realistic opearting conditions. Results indicate a great potential of this system.

In an international journal we present a review of lubrciating mechanims presented for DLC coatings with oils and additives. We analyse those presented by others and emphasise our own research.

We developed generally applicable procedures for the estimation of slip of the lubricant on non-fully wetted surfaces. Such procedures has not yet been presented in the literature. With the use of experimental data, the method provides the rate of slip between the liquid (lubricant) and the surface for macroscopic, engineering contacts.

At the conference we presented the most important conclusions of various studies of mechanisms for boundary lubrication of diamond like carbon (DLC). We focused only on the mechanisms for DLC/steel contact, where most confusion was present, since in the majority of research this combination was studied, and therefore also contradictory conclusions were given.
