| Summary: | Motor fuels are the source of energy for internal combustion engines, and also a lubricant for friction units of the fuel equipment of automobile, aircraft and ship engines. The reliability and service life of the entire mechanism depend on the antiwear properties of fuels. Traditional anti-wear additives containing sulfur, phosphorus, chlorine, etc., are not applicable in motor fuels due to restrictions on emissions of toxic compounds. To improve the antiwear properties of lubricants, it is possible to use a new class of spatial carbon compounds - fullerene-like nanoparticles (FLNs).
This work shows that modification of liquid hydrocarbon motor fuels with fullerene-like nanoparticles (FLNs) increases the antiwear properties of fuels
