| Abstract Scope |
Lubricants made of synthetic or mineral hydrocarbon oil alone often do not possess the tribological properties required for many applications. Therefore, manufacturers use additives to improve the performance of lubricants. Recently nanoparticles and MXenes have emerged as effective additives for reducing friction and wear of lubricated contacts. In addition, nanoparticle additives have shown to be effective in reducing the electrical discharge damage observed in applications such as electric vehicles, wind turbines, spacecraft and other power generation applications. Several mechanisms that nanoparticles employ to effectively reduce friction, wear and discharge damage have been proposed. This work presents recent experimental and theoretical results analyzing the tribological and electrical performance of various nanoparticle lubricant additives. |
