Antiwear performance of ionic liquid+graphene dispersions with anomalous viscosity-temperature behavior
New dispersions of few-layers graphene (G) in 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium ([EMIM]) ionic liquids (ILs) with dicyanamide ([DCA]) or bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([TFSI]) anions have been obtained by mechanical mixing and sonication. IL+0.5 wt% G dispersions show constant viscosity values from 357K (for IL = [EMIM][DCA]) or from 385K (for IL = [EMIM][TFSI]) to 393K. IL + G dispersions with G > 0.5 wt% show linear viscosity increases with increasing temperature, from 306K (for [EMIM][DCA]+1 wt%G) and from 330K to 393K (for [EMIM][TFSI]+0.75 wt%G and [EMIM][TFSI]+1 wt%G). Addition of graphene improves the poor wear reducing performance of [EMIM][DCA], and prevents surface damage on steel when added to [EMIM][TFSI]. Graphene increases the load-carrying ability of ILs, forms a surface layer on the sliding path and retains wear debris, preventing the formation of large abrasive particles.Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad (MINECO, Spain), EU FEDER Program (Grant # MAT2017-85130-P)

Topological entropy of continuous self–maps on a graph
Let G be a graph and f be a continuous self–map on G. We provide sufficient conditions based on the Lefschetz zeta function in order that f has positive topological entropy. Moreover, for the particular graphs: p–flower graph, n-lips graph and (p+r1L1+:::+rsLs)–graph we are able to go further and state more precise conditions for having positive topological entropy.The second author is partially supported by the Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad, Agencia Estatal de Investigación grants MTM-2016-77278-P (FEDER) and MDM-2014-0445, the Agència de Gestió d’Ajuts Universitaris i de Recerca grant 2017SGR1617, and the H2020 European Research Council grant MSCA-RISE-2017-777911
