Cover Story: The tribological behavior of novel carbon nanotube-based lubricant greases in PAO with and without MoS2 is investigated. The results show a marked reduction of frictional coefficient achieved by the CNT-based grease samples with an average benefit of around –30% compared to conventional greases.
CNTs used as sole thickener for such novel greases for industrial applications provide the bulk structure of this semifluid lubricant a marked stability of the tribological response over the whole spectrum of the lab-scale performed tests. Wear protection of steel mating surfaces is also highly enhanced in the case of fretting test. This outstanding behavior in fretting conditions could be attributed to the more consistent and fatigue-resistant performance of CNT thickener.
