Tribological Properties of Layered a-Zirconium Phosphate as Lithium Grease Additive

Tuning Tribological Performance of Layered Zirconium Phosphate Nanoplatelets in Oil by Surface and Interlayer Modifications

Two-dimensional (2D) inorganic layered nanoplatelets exhibit superior lubricating properties in both solid states and oil dispersions. In this paper, we have systematically investigated the effects of surface and interlayer modifications on the tribological performance of layered α-zirconium phosphate (ZrP) nanoplatelets in mineral oil. The pristine layered ZrP nanoplatelets were first reacted ...

Influence of Graphene Nanoflakes Addition on Grease Tribological Properties

The tribological properties of zinc borate ultrafine powder as a lubricant additive in sunflower oil

This paper presents an investigation on the tribological properties of zinc borate ultrafine powder (ZBUP) employed as a lubricant additive in sunflower oil. The stable dispersions of 0.5 wt%, 1 wt% and 2 wt% ZBUP in sunflower oil were achieved by using an ultrasonic homogenizer. Both a 4-ball tester and a pin-on-disc tester were employed to evaluate the antiwear and friction reduction capabili...

Experimental analysis of tribological properties of biolubricant with nanoparticle additive

This study examined the tribological properties of two lubricating oils, paraffin oil and biolubricant added with TiO2 nanoparticles used as additives. Biolubricant used in this experimental was derived from palm oil-based TMP (trimethylolpropane) ester. The TMP ester is produced from palm oil, which is biodegradable and has high lubricity properties such as a higher flash point temperature and...

Is the Freeze Drying Method Effect on the Phase Transition Temperature ofβ/β́́ Lithium Zirconium Phosphate?

Spherical granules of the superionic conductor β/β́ LiZr2(PO4)3 in the range of sub 100 nm sizewere synthesizedvia freeze drying methodand fully reviewed in all aspects. Samples were characterized by the X-ray diffractometry (XRD), the Thermal analysis (TG, DSC), theFourier Transform Infra-Red Spectroscopy (FTIR) and the Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).Their structuredepends largely on the me...
