Effect of TiO2 nanoparticles on the tribological properties of lubricating oil: an experimental investigation

Abstract Nano-lubricants offer improved tribological properties in many applications, such as machines and engines. The presence of nanoparticles in the lubricating oil affects its wear, friction, thermal, chemical and physical properties in many ways. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a promising lubrican...
