Abstract
AbstractThis paper gives an overview of developments in the use of ultrafine particles in lubricating oils to reduce wear and friction. Work on several types of particles, such as graphite, MoS2, PTFE, BN, fullerene, and Cu, as well as more novel and unusual particles used as lubricant additives, is reviewed. The paper summarises the results of a number of workers in this field. The tribological mechanism by which ultrafine particles operate is considered, and some conclusions, including possible future directions for research, are drawn.
