Antioxidant Properties of Nanocarbon-based Nanolubricants
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 June 2018
Abstract
Catalytic behavior of colloidal dispersions of different nanocarbon additives in mineral and synthetic oil has been studied. Oxidation performance of mineral oil and synthetic oil containing detonation nanodiamonds (NDs/DNDs), detonation soot and commercial analogs have been compared with fullerenes and a conventional chemical antioxidant. Degradation characteristics of the oils were determined by total acid number (TAN) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Both fullerenes and DNDs showed antioxidant properties in mineral oil, with DND performance depending on the method of deagglomeration. Antioxidant performance of DNDs and fullerenes in polyalphaolefin (PAO) oil is apparently less effective than in mineral oil.
