AB  - Thick hydrodynamic lubricant films can be formed in soft-EHL contacts, even by low viscosity lubricants such as aqueous solutions, and this has practical relevance in both engineering and biological applications. Work to measure the friction of simple Newtonian liquids in soft-EHL contacts over a wide range of entrainment speeds and viscosities is presented. A new technique is described for separating the rolling and sliding components of friction. To study the boundary lubrication regime, solutions of a surfactant Tween 80 (ethoxylated-60-sorbitan monostearate) are examined. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 15th International Colloquium Tribology - Automotive and Industrial Lubrication (Ostfildern, Germany 1/17-19/2006).
