A Lithium Stearate and Fumed Silica Co-Thickened Grease With Poly(Sodium-4-Styrenesulfonate) Additive for Electric Vehicles
In this study, lithium stearate and fumed silica co-thickened grease with po-ly(sodium-4-styrenesulfonate) (PSSNa) additive was synthesised and characterised for application as an automotive lubricant, including for the potential use in an electric vehicle (EV). Oscillatory shear and steady shear rheological tests confirmed that the sample exhibited appropriate shear thinning required in greases. Fumed silica was found to increase thermal stability. Additionally, the conductivity of the synthesised grease was higher than the threshold conductivity required to avoid electrical arcing and static charge buildup (4 × 10−12 S/cm). The tribo-pair lubricated with LSFSPNa grease demonstrated a significant improvement in tribological performance, with the coefficient of friction reduced by approximately 65% compared to commercial grease, decreasing from 0.31 to 0.11. The wear volume showed a tenfold reduction, accompanied by a substantial decrease in surface roughness (Ra), which dropped from 0.81 μm with commercial grease to 0.17 μm with LSFSPNa grease. At the same time, the synthesised grease exhibited better copper corrosion resistance. Overall, the synthesised grease was found to be compatible for EV applications in terms of rheology, friction reduction, copper corrosion resistance, conductivity, and thermal stability.
期刊介绍:
Lubrication Science is devoted to high-quality research which notably advances fundamental and applied aspects of the science and technology related to lubrication. It publishes research articles, short communications and reviews which demonstrate novelty and cutting edge science in the field, aiming to become a key specialised venue for communicating advances in lubrication research and development.
Lubrication is a diverse discipline ranging from lubrication concepts in industrial and automotive engineering, solid-state and gas lubrication, micro & nanolubrication phenomena, to lubrication in biological systems. To investigate these areas the scope of the journal encourages fundamental and application-based studies on:
Synthesis, chemistry and the broader development of high-performing and environmentally adapted lubricants and additives.
State of the art analytical tools and characterisation of lubricants, lubricated surfaces and interfaces.
Solid lubricants, self-lubricating coatings and composites, lubricating nanoparticles.
Gas lubrication.
Extreme-conditions lubrication.
Green-lubrication technology and lubricants.
Tribochemistry and tribocorrosion of environment- and lubricant-interface interactions.
Modelling of lubrication mechanisms and interface phenomena on different scales: from atomic and molecular to mezzo and structural.
Modelling hydrodynamic and thin film lubrication.
All lubrication related aspects of nanotribology.
Surface-lubricant interface interactions and phenomena: wetting, adhesion and adsorption.
Bio-lubrication, bio-lubricants and lubricated biological systems.
Other novel and cutting-edge aspects of lubrication in all lubrication regimes.
