Abstract

Nano materials have great potential for development of advanced lubricating and protecting materials. Nano-particles capped by organic compound such as organic acid, dialkyldithiophosphate (DDP) are capable to disperse stably in lubricating oils, and are able to reduce wear and to increase load-carrying capacity.
