Tribological Behavior of Novel CNTs-Based Lubricant Grease in Steady-State and Fretting Sliding Conditions

The tribological behavior of novel 7.5 wt% carbon nanotube-based lubricant greases in PAO (polyalphaolefin) oil with and without 1.0 wt% MoS<sub>2</sub>, together with several other commercial greases such as calcium, lithium, were studied. The test results showed a marked reduction of f...
