“…Therefore, permanent lubrication of combustion engines is required. Among different approaches to improve lubricants for tribological applications, metallic, e.g., Au, Bi, and Ni [1][2][3][4], and ceramic, e.g., CaCO 3 , CuO, and MOS x [5][6][7][8], nanoparticles were examined [9]. It was found that the magnitude of improvement significantly depends on nanoparticle material, size, shape, and mass concentration [6,7].…”
