Tribological properties of carbon nanotubes as lubricant additive in oil and water for a wheel–rail system

Since their discovery in 1991 carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted much interest due to their remarkable mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical and optical properties. In connection with their mechanical properties, CNTs have been studied in various forms for tribological applications including...
