Anti-Friction and Anti-Wear Properties of SiO₂ Nanoparticles

Abstract:

The SiO2 nanoparticles were synthesized with a ydrothermal method and modified by oleic acid. The tribological properties of the modified SiO2 nanoparticles as bricating oil additives are studied by friction test. It was found that the nanoparticles as additives in lubricant oil can effectively improve anti-friction and anti-wear roperties. The anti-friction and anti-wear mechanisms were discussed and the lubricating effect of SiO2 nanoparticles can be attributed to rolling effect and self-repairing effect of mechanism.
