Abstract
Subject headings
Close
- Nanoparticles and organic friction modifiers (OFMs) as lubricant additives have shown great potential in friction and wear reduction by forming tribofilms which prevent direct contact at the sliding interface. Potential mechanisms for the formation of these tribofilms remain poorly understood, limiting the ability to optimise the performance of the entire tribosystem. Incorporation of nanoparticles and OFM together in a lubricant could provide a unique solution to enhance frictional and wear properties. In this study, Nanodiamonds (NDs) and Glycerol Monooleate (GMO) have been added to a PAO base oil containing low concentration of Zinc dialkyl dithio-phosphate (ZDDP) to produce a novel lubricant combination that significantly reduces coefficient of friction (COF) and wear. Experimental studies showed that NDs reacted with additives present in the lubricant combination to expedite tribofilm formation. Friction reduction performance can be attributed to the encapsulation of carboxylated NDs due to tribochemical interaction with GMO, their mechanical interlocking in the tribofilm and polishing effect of NDs. The visible presence of NDs in tribofilms and the formation of a thicker tribofilm layer with NDs have been corroborated for the first time in this study. Synergy achieved among NDs, GMO, and low concentration ZDDP to formulate a novel environmentally friendly lubricant with advanced tribological performance has been shown, providing a great potential to develop sustainable tribological solutions for a wide variety of engineering applications.
