Abstract
This paper aims to develop core–shell nanoparticles by combining CuO (core) and reduced graphene oxide (shell) as lubricant additives and understand their action under different slide-to-roll ratios. The SRRs evaluated were 50 and 200%, with nanoparticles concentrations of 0.05 and 0.1wt%. The worn tracks were characterized through WLI, SEM, TEM and Raman Spectroscopy. The results showed that the lubrication mechanism and tribofilm formation are strongly associated with the type of contact. At SRR 200%, nanolubricant reduced friction and wear; it was observed exfoliation of nanoparticles, the CuO acted as rolling, and the rGO sheet was deposited on a worn surface. On the other hand, for SRR 50% doesn´t decrease the friction coefficient; however, a thicker tribofilm was produced with nanoparticles.
期刊介绍:
Tribology Letters is devoted to the development of the science of tribology and its applications, particularly focusing on publishing high-quality papers at the forefront of tribological science and that address the fundamentals of friction, lubrication, wear, or adhesion. The journal facilitates communication and exchange of seminal ideas among thousands of practitioners who are engaged worldwide in the pursuit of tribology-based science and technology.
