INVESTIGATION OF THE LUBRICATING PROPERTIES OF NANO PARTICLE-MODIFIED OIL

Abstract

In cars or other vehicles, the inside wears out, oil which has lubricating properties can stop mechanism wear off. Scientists have discovered that friction between parts can be reduced even less with nanoparticles. Thus, oil modification with nanoparticles was carried out and a study was carried out with DUCOM HFRR unit to check the friction coefficient and wear of modified and unmodified oil. During the study, results were obtained that show and confirm that the modified oil with nanoparticles has less friction and less wear. So it can be said that nanoparticles can really help to reduce friction between parts.
