| Popis: | Nanoparticles agglomerate easily because of their high surface energy, which seriously reduces their tribological properties as lubricant additives. In this work, the core-shell nanoparticles Ag@polydopamine (PDA) were successfully prepared by the self-oxidation of dopamine hydrochloride on the surface of Ag nanoparticles and the dispersion of Ag nanoparticles in PAO6 was improved to promote anti-wear behaviors. The tribological properties of Ag@PDA nanocomposites as additives in poly alpha olefin (PAO) oil were studied under different concentrations, pressure and speed conditions by UMT-5 tribometer. It was demonstrated that the strong electrostatic repulsion of the PDA structure made the Ag nanoparticles better dispersed in PAO oil, thus playing a better lubricating role. When the concentration of the modified nanoparticles was 0.25 wt%, the friction coefficient of the lubricating oil decreased by 18.67% and no obvious wear was observed on the friction pair surface. When the Ag@PDA content was higher than 0.25 wt%, the tribological performance of the lubricating oil was weakened, which may be due to excessive Ag@PDA acting as an abrasive on the friction surface, thereby increasing friction and wear. The friction coefficient of the lubricating oil containing Ag@PDA decreased with the increase in load, but hardly changed with the increase in frequency. |
