Abstract

Lubricants are an important part of any tribological system [...]

Highlights

  • Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have found promising uses as composite fillers in polymer, metal, and ceramic matrix composites [1,2]

  • The improvement in fracture toughness has an immediate benefit in improving wear resistance in ceramics as crack formation and subsequent propagation can quickly accelerate wear

  • The gradual wear of the ceramic composite leads to the ejection of graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs) particulates

Summary

Introduction

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials have found promising uses as composite fillers in polymer, metal, and ceramic matrix composites [1,2]. This has brought forth the concept of using 2D nanolaminated materials as protective solid-state lubricants. Nanomaterials have other favorable attributes that makes it logical to incorporate them directly into materials as a secondary phase or reinforcement.
