It is composed of non-magnetic solid lubricants dispersed in an oil-based ferrofluid. When this inverse ferrofluid (IFF) is magnetically activated, the lubricant particles are subjected to magnetophoretic forces. By using appropriate magnetic field gradients, they can be driven to the region of interest and thus control the friction locally. The rheological and tribological performances of three IFF formulations are evaluated in several conditions of applied magnetic field strength and shear flow rates.}, organization = {Total Marketing Services}, organization = {Spanish Government}, organization = {European Commission PID2019-104883GB-I00}, organization = {Junta de Andalucia P18-FR2465}, organization = {European Commission}, organization = {Universidad de Granada/CBUA}, organization = {FPU14/01576}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Lubrication}, keywords = {Magnetic fields}, keywords = {Magnetorheology}, keywords = {Inverse ferrofluids}, keywords = {High shear lubrication}, keywords = {Negative magnetophoresis}, title = {Design of smart lubricants using the inverse ferrofluid approach}, doi = {10.1016/j.triboint.2021.107346}, author = {Sahoo, R. and Morillas Medina, José Rafael and Hidalgo Álvarez, Roque Isidro and Vicente Álvarez-Manzaneda, Juan De}, }
