Enhancing the tribological performance of lubricants with nanoparticle additives is a recent challenge. Addition of graphene based nanostructures in poly-alkylene glycol lubricant could significantly reduce friction and wear for compressors operating with CO2 refrigerant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
