Abstract
Abstract 0.2, 1.0, and 2.0 wt.% concentration of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanoparticles were dispersed in mineral and synthetic ester base oil. Their tribological behavior investigated using a tribometer with pin-on-disk and four-ball configuration under different conditions of contact pressures, sliding speeds and oil bath temperatures, respectively. The results demonstrate that nano-MoS2 in mineral oil can reduce wear and friction coefficient characteristics at all concentrations tested, especially at 2.0 wt.%. XPS analysis of the worn surfaces indicated that decomposed MoS2 was adsorbed on worn surface, and S and Mo elements of the compound reacted with the metal and existed in the form of sulfide or molybdenum compounds, both of which contributed to the formation of a mix lubricating film. A wear mechanism of MoS2 as antiwear additive is proposed. Graphical Abstract
期刊介绍:
Journal of Dispersion Science and Technology is an international journal covering fundamental and applied aspects of dispersions, emulsions, vesicles, microemulsions, liquid crystals, particle suspensions and sol-gel processes. Fundamental areas that are covered include new surfactants, polymers and indigenous stabilizers; surfactant and polymer association as well as phase equilibria in systems water and oil; surfactant and polymer films, monolayers and interfacial films; adsorption and desorption onto solid surfaces; stability and destabilization of dispersions, emulsions and particle suspensions; collodal templates and sol-gel processing. Industrial applications cover chemicals, crude oils, food, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, nanotechnology, and soft condensed materials.
