Abstract
Monodisperse ZrO2 nanoparticles with a particle size of about 6–7 nm and low volatile multialkylated cyclopentanes (MACs) lubricant were prepared and characterized. The effect of ZrO2 nanoparticles as additive on the friction and wear behavior of MACs base oil was investigated. The friction and wear performance of 2 wt% ZrO2 nanoparticles + MACs was evaluated using an Optimal SRV oscillating friction and wear tester, with a steel ball sliding against the same steel counterpart disc. Results indicate that the wear resistance and load-carrying capacity of MACs base oil were markedly raised and its friction coefficient changed little when 2 wt% ZrO2 nanoparticles were added to it.
