The technology involved in lubrication by nanoparticles is arapidly developing scientific area and one that has been watchedwith interest for the past ten years. Nanolubrication offers asolution to many problems associated with traditional lubricantsthat contain sulphur and phosphorus; and though for some time theproduction of nanoparticles was restricted by the technologiesavailable, today synthesis methods have been improved to such alevel that it is possible to produce large quantities relativelycheaply and efficiently.
Nanolubricants develops a new concept of lubrication,based on these nanoparticles, and along with the authors' ownresearch it synthesises the information available on the topic ofnanolubrication from existing literature and presents it in aconcise form.
* Describes the many advantages and potential applications ofnanotechnology in the tribological field.
* Offers a full review of the state-of-the-art as well as muchoriginal research that is yet unpublished.
* Includes sections on boundary lubrication by colloïdalsystems, nanolubricants made of metal dichalcogenides, carbon-basednanolubricants, overbased detergent salts, nanolubricants made ofmetals and boron-based solid nanolubricants and lubricationadditives.
* Authored by highly regarded experts in the field withcontributions from leading international academics.
Nanolubricants will appeal to postgraduate students,academics and researchers in mechanical engineering, chemicalengineering and materials science. It should also be of interest topractising engineers with petroleum companies and mechanicalmanufacturers.
