Nanosized Additives to Lubricating Materials

Abstract

The review deals with the synthesis and use of nanosized additives in friction and wear processes. Various types of nanosized additives are considered, and their performance as friction modifiers is demonstrated. The influence exerted on the antiwear performance of lubricating materials by the size and concentration of the introduced particles differing in the chemical nature is considered. Methods for preparing nanosized additives and stabilizing them in lubricating materials are described.
