Effect of Layered MoS2 Nanoparticles on the Frictional Behavior and Microstructure of Lubricating Greases

Formation of an adsorption film of MoS2 nanoparticles and dioctyl sebacate on a steel surface for alleviating friction and wear

“…Nanoscaled MoS 2 (nano-MoS 2 or n-MoS 2 ) particles usually present better properties than bulk microsized 2H-MoS 2 (micro-MoS 2 or m-MoS 2 ) [4][5][6][7]. Thus, much attention was focused on the synthesis and tribological properties of MoS 2 nanoparticles [8][9][10][11][12][13]. The tribological properties of MoS 2 can also be improved by forming tube-like, sphere-like, or spherical inorganic fullerenelike (IF) structures.…”

Simultaneous chemical reduction and surface functionalization of graphene oxide for efficient lubrication of steel–steel contact

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Layered materials such as graphite, MoS 2 and WS 2 (platelets of the 2H polytype) which known to have excellent lubricating properties are widely used either as solid lubricant for space applications or as additives dispersed in a lubricating base. Lubrication is essential for mechanical assemblies for improved energy efficiency and mechanical durability.…”

Tribological properties of 3 types of MoS2 additives in different base greases

“…Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2 ) is a well‐known layered solid lubricant with a hexagonal structure. MoS 2 has been widely applied as a lubricating additive in base oils, greases, plastics, and coatings . Thus, to improve the lubricating performance of MoS 2 is very important for industrial applications.…”

“…The appearance of the Mo peak of MoO 3 could not imply the good wear resistance of PBG with 5.0% m-MoS 2 , because the Mo peak was weak and the Mo peak of MoS 2 was still absent. Moreover, the S peak of PBG with m-MoS 2 inFigure 11Bonly presented the information of SO4 2− . A small quantity of m-MoS 2 particles transferred to the contact region was completely oxidised into MoO 3 and SO 4 2− because of acute mechanical rubbing.…”
