Tribological evaluation of lubricating oils containing various nanoparticles as additives for boundary lubrication conditions

The concept of boundary lubrication with the use of nanoparticles represents a scientifically and technologically new and innovative approach to lubrication, based on physical adsorption of nanoparticles. In the conference we presented results of preliminary experiments with the use of nanoparticles in the oil, using various concentrations of different MoS2 nanoparticles.

Role of adsorption and tribophysical parameters in lubrication of DLC

We discovered that in DLC contact boundary layers are formed only with the use of PAO base oil or pure alkanes. These boundary layers influence the tribological properties of the contact. Since they are highly chemically pure, alkanes can absorb on the DLC surface only with the weak van der Waals forces. This clearly shows that due to the functioning of physical adsorption mechanism boundary lubrication is possible on DLC surfaces without the addition of polar groups or additives.
