Abstract

Few liquid crystalline compounds and mixtures were tested as lubricating agents. The much decrease of friction coefficient was observed in comparison to the paraffin oil, the commonly used reference lubricant. The compounds were differing in chemical structure as well as the kind of formed liquid crystalline phases. The chemical structure plays a crucial role in the improvement of tribological properties.
