Lubrication Performances of Carbon-Doped MoSe2 Nanoparticles and Their Biocompatibility Characterization In Vitro

Abstract

Health and environmental protection issues have become major focus areas in many research and development projects. In this context, recent MTT cytotoxicity assessments performed on carbon-doped MoSe2 nanoparticles have indicated that they exhibit excellent biocompatibility. Therefore, these nanoparticles have attracted considerable interest from researchers worldwide. Herein, we report the successful synthesis of carbon-doped MoSe2 nanoparticles using an ultrasonic method to enhance their lubrication effect for use as oil additives. Carbon-doped MoSe2 nanoparticles are smaller than untreated MoSe2 nanoparticles and can easily access the contact area to form a tribofilm, reducing the friction coefficient and generating less wear. Moreover, carbon-doped MoSe2 nanoparticles and waste water prepared with the nanoparticles display excellent biocompatibility. Hence, they can be used in practical applications such as oil additives.

Potential Exploration of Biocompatible Carbon-Coated MoSe2 Nanoparticles for Exploration of the Photothermal Potential in the Treatment of Human Choriocarcinoma

“…19 However, the biocompatibility and stability of MoSe 2 may not meet the requirements in some cases, so surface treatment is needed. [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] MoSe 2 is usually modified by coating to form a core structure, which can isolate nano-materials from the external environment, thus improving chemical stability and biocompatibility. Gao et al prepared carbon-coated MoSe 2 nanoparticles and studied its anticancer effect on renal cancer.…”

“…30 MoSe 2 -polyvinylpyrrolidone nanoparticles were exposed to oxygen, and Mo atoms reacted with Se atoms, and polyvinylpyrrolidone was modified on the surface of MoSe 2 at the same time due to the chelating coordination of O and Mo atoms, so it had good biocompatibility and high stability. 21 Although there were many related studies evaluating the corresponding biomedical properties after chemical modification of MoSe 2 nanoparticles, [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28] this study innovatively prepared a new composite nano-material carbon-coated MoSe 2 (MEC) and explored its photothermal potential in the treatment of human choriocarcinoma, which made up for the shortcomings of MoSe 2 related research and the treatment of human choriocarcinoma.…”

Effects of pressure on the cross‐linking behavior of hyaluronic acid‐functionalized boric acid cross‐linked poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogels

“…There has been favorable progress in mating between cobalt‐chromium‐molybdenum (CoCrMo) alloy and ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) as a joint replacement 17,18 . However, frictional wear is a very common problem in life, 19,20 the friction and wear that occurs between replacement joints can create a number of problems that are difficult to overcome 21 . Aseptic inflammation that caused by debris from worn joints is one of the main problems of pain after joint replacement 22,23 .…”

Double‐network polyvinyl alcohol composite hydrogel with self‐healing and low friction

“…Lubrication is not only widely used in industry, [12][13][14][15] but is also important in artificial cartilage. In recent years, hydrogels have received considerable attention for their promise in sensors, tissue engineering, drug transport, and situations requiring highly absorbent materials.…”
