Friction Reduction in Elastohydrodynamic Contacts by Thin Layer Thermal Insulation by Björling, M.

“…In this work, it is shown that contrarily to common belief, the friction reduction stems mainly from a thermal phenomenon and not only a chemical/surface interaction one. It is shown that a few micrometer-thin DLC coating can significantly influence the thermal behavior in a lubricated mechanical system. …”
