Abstract
The development of high-performance water-based lubricating additives with excellent properties has been the focus of research recently. Herein, carbon-based nanomaterials made of spherical fullerenol and lamellar graphene oxide (GO) were explored as water-based lubricating additives to enhance tribological properties via the response surface method systematically. The antiwear mechanisms of the carbon-based nanomaterials were revealed through simultaneous wear surface characterizations and molecular dynamics simulations. Results showed that the spherical fullerenol and lamellar GO had superdispersion stability in the water-based lubricants. Fullerenol and GO could play a superior synergistic role to considerably enhance the antiwear properties of the water-based lubricants. Particularly, the wear rate decreased by almost 93 % when the water-based lubricant was supplemented with fullerenol and GO (0.1 wt% each) at the load of 1.5 N and sliding speed of 30 mm/s. The antiwear mechanisms indicated that an excellent antiwear effect was produced by the stable tribofilms containing GO and fullerenol, which combined with hydration layers synergistically exerting a bearing capacity.
期刊介绍:
Wear journal is dedicated to the advancement of basic and applied knowledge concerning the nature of wear of materials. Broadly, topics of interest range from development of fundamental understanding of the mechanisms of wear to innovative solutions to practical engineering problems. Authors of experimental studies are expected to comment on the repeatability of the data, and whenever possible, conduct multiple measurements under similar testing conditions. Further, Wear embraces the highest standards of professional ethics, and the detection of matching content, either in written or graphical form, from other publications by the current authors or by others, may result in rejection.
