Abstract

This study evaluated the tribological characteristics of a novel eco-friendly water-based lubricant containing carbon dots (CDs) obtained from Sargassum as additives. The mean friction coefficient of a lubricant containing 5 mg/ml CD contents was 78 % lower than that of pure water. Furthermore, a correlation between wear rate, contact shape, and kinetic vertical ball displacement was also established.
