Nanoparticles enhance lubricants through several mechanisms:
Reducing Friction: Nanoparticles create a thin, protective layer on surfaces, reducing direct contact between moving parts. This reduces friction and minimizes energy loss. Anti-Wear Properties: By filling in microscopic cracks and imperfections on surfaces, nanoparticles prevent wear and tear, prolonging the life of machinery. Thermal Stability: Nanoparticles can improve the thermal conductivity of lubricants, ensuring better heat dissipation and preventing overheating.
