In the recent trend toward energy-saving machinery, adsorption-type lubricant additives that can reduce friction are becoming increasingly important. This paper introduces the recent development of surface and interface analysis techniques and the accompanying progress in tribological research, focusing on the concept of additive adsorption layer formation taking into account the dissolution structure of additive molecules in solvents and the structure of additive adsorption layers in high shear fields in narrow gap.
