A Study on Colloidal Polystyrene-Carbon Nanotubes(PSt-CNTs) as Water-Based Lubrieant Additive
A new type of water-based lubrication additive-colloidal polystyrene-carbon nanotubes(PSt-CNTs) has been prepared.TEM shows that the PSt-CNTs colloid is tubes with tiny balls in nanometer scale.Four-ball test results indicate that both the load-carrying capacity and anti-wear of the colloidal PSt-CNTs are much superior to those colloidal PSt owing to the additive reinforced by CNTs.The optimum colloidal PSt-CNTs content is 1.0wt%.The worn surfaces were analyzed using SEM.Finally its lubrication mechanism was deduced preliminarily.
