Overview
FrançaisABSTRACT
This article describes the mechanical characteristics of the pockets-plateaus scheme, where lubricant pockets of significant thickness- in the micrometer range- coexist along the interface and extremely thin films, some tens of nanometers thick, can be found on the complementary part of the apparent contact area . This article then proceeds to presenting the characteristics of these thin films produced by the chemical reactivity of the lubricant additives.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.

INTRODUCTION
This dossier should be read in conjunction with
pockets of lubricant of significant thickness (in the micrometer range);
and on the complementary part of the apparent contact area of very thin films (thickness of the order of a few tens of nanometers).
Next, we describe the characteristics of these thin films generated by the chemical reactivity of lubricant additives.
