1-9. (canceled)
A photosensitized lubricant having a single phase composition of at least a lubricant moiety that is chemically linked an additive moiety, wherein a molecule of the photosynthesized lubricant comprises a main-chain of one or more a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) moieties, with one end of the molecule having a pentaphenoxy cyclotriphosphazene.
A method of manufacturing a photosynthesized lubricant having a single phase composition of at least a lubricant moiety that is chemically linked to an additive moiety, the method comprising forming a mixture of molecules of the lubricant moiety and molecules of the additive moiety and reacting the molecules of the lubricant moiety with the molecules of the additive moiety under UV exposure to form the photosynthesized lubricant.
