Study on tribological properties of oleic acid-modified TiO2 nanoparticle in water

Tribological Properties of CaCO3 Nanoparticles as an Additive in Lithium Grease

“…In tribology, some nanomaterials were added into lubricating oil/grease to improve extreme pressure, anti-wear and friction-reduction properties [1]. In particular, the tribological properties of metals [2][3][4][5][6][7][8], metal oxides [9][10][11][12][13][14][15], metal sulphides [16][17][18][19], rare earth compounds [20][21][22][23][24], and borides [25][26][27][28] used as lubricating additives have been investigated. They can greatly improve the anti-wear and extreme pressure properties, reduce friction coefficient, and even retard the thermoinduced oxidation of lubricating oil/grease.…”

Tribological behaviors of surfactant-functionalized carbon nanotubes as lubricant additive in water

“…There is an increasing demand for environment friendly lubricants and additives, due to the growing environmental concerns from both society and governmental organizations. As a matter of fact, environment friendly lubricants are declared to represent the developing trend of the lubricant industry in the future [5]. When compared to petroleum oils, water-based fluids possess significant advantages, such as reduced environmental pollution, high thermal conductivity, fire resistance, low cost and so on, but certain additives are required to improve the poor lubricity of water.…”

Tribological Properties of the Lubricant Containing Titanium Dioxide Nanoparticles as an Additive

“…The use of nanoparticles as oil additives and lubricants is a recent idea. Numerous nanoparticles have been investigated in recent years [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. These oil additives contain small particles of solid material, and their use is not straightforward and only recently has been recognized as feasible.…”
