Which nanomaterials can be used as self-lubricating materials
With the increasing demand for the performance and lifespan of mechanical equipment, the application of self-lubricating materials in the industrial field is becoming increasingly widespread. Nanomaterials play an important role in the manufacturing of self-lubricating materials due to their excellent physical properties. So, which nanomaterials can be used for the manufacturing of self-lubricating materials? Graphene is a two-dimensional material composed of carbon atoms and is currently one of the hot topics in the research of self-lubricating materials. It has high thermal conductivity and chemical stability, and can effectively lubricate metal surfaces. In addition, graphene also exhibits excellent performance in terms of wear and friction. In addition to graphene, nano copper powder is also a commonly used self-lubricating material. When copper powder is worn on the surface, an oxide film is formed, which ruptures and regenerates to achieve lubrication eff...
