Even a small concentration of nanoparticles (a few tenths of a percent by weight) could be sufficient to improve the tribological properties of the system. When the load between the sliding parts is small (low load conditions), friction reduction is mainly ascribable to the bearing-like behavior of nanoparticles, that roll between the contact surfaces, keeping their shape intact; for high load conditions, a coating, induced by the presence of nanoparticles, is deposited on the crests of surface roughness and it can reduce direct contact between the asperities, thus, minimize wear.

OODA NanoTechnology Lubricants

Graphene in car and heavy machinery engine's oil benefits lubrication and reduces fuel consumption

Because of the nature (inorganic and refractory) of the nanoparticles generally used as filler, the optimal performances achieved by the nano-lubricant can also be maintained in the working conditions at high temperature, thus avoiding the typical degradation of the traditional organic additives.

Numerous nanoparticles have recently been investigated for use as oil additives. Nano -powders of some metals and their compounds exert an especially effective influence on the characteristics of lubricants. The use of nanoparticles that include Cu, CuO, Fe, Ni, TiO2 and other metallic nanoparticles additives in lubricating oils provides good friction reduction and anti-wear behavior.

NanoTech Lubricants: Most lubricants are liquid oil-based materials:
