1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium ibuprofen ionic liquids (ILs, L-Ibu104, L-Ibu106 and L-Ibu108) were synthesized from an anti-inflammatory drug, sodium ibuprofen. The physicochemical and tribological properties of these ILs as neat lubricants for steel/steel and steel/copper contacts were measured. The r...
