The combination of ionic liquids and carbon nanophases in tribology %D 2017 %@ 2075-4442 %U http://hdl.handle.net/10317/8573 %X The present overview will focus on the tribological applications of what we have called ionanocarbon lubricants, that is, the combination of carbon nanophases (graphene, carbon nanotubes, nanodiamonds, carbon nanodots) and room-temperature ionic liquids in new dispersions, blends, or modified nanostructures and their use in tribology, lubrication, and surface engineering as friction-reducing, antiwear, and surface-protecting agents in thin films and composite materials. Further research lines and factors that limit the practical applications of the outstanding research results are also highlighted. The very recent results in these lines of research make this a necessary brief review. %K Ciencia de los Materiales e Ingeniería Metalúrgica %K Carbon nanotubes %K Graphene %K Nanodiamonds %K Carbon nanodots %K Ionic liquids %K Friction %K Lubrication %K Wear %K Surfaces %K Interfaces %K 3312 Tecnología de Materiales %K 2210 Química Física %~ GOEDOC, SUB GOETTINGEN
