The emergence of vegetable oil as a promising alternative lubricant in the tribological application space has fueled research for making these oils as useful as mineral oils. Tribological modification of vegetable oil by the addition of TiO₂/gC₃N₄ nanocomposite (as a nanoadditive) was studied here. The dispersion of the nanoadditive in the vegetable oil showed good oil dispersion stability without the addition of any surfactant. The tribological studies were conducted in a four-ball tester using ASTM standard D5183. In addition, the effect of temperature on tribological performance was also studied to understand the oxidation behavior of vegetable oil. The results showed a significant improvement in friction and wear properties of the optimized nano-oil. The mechanism behind the improvement in friction and wear properties is annotated in this paper.

植物油作为摩擦学应用领域中有希望的替代润滑剂的出现，推动了使这些油与矿物油一样有用的研究。TiO ₂ / gC ₃ N ₄的添加对植物油的摩擦学改性在这里研究了纳米复合材料（作为纳米添加剂）。纳米添加剂在植物油中的分散体在不添加任何表面活性剂的情况下显示出良好的油分散稳定性。使用ASTM标准D5183在四球测试仪中进行了摩擦学研究。此外，还研究了温度对摩擦性能的影响，以了解植物油的氧化行为。结果表明，优化的纳米油在摩擦和磨损性能方面有显着改善。本文介绍了改善摩擦和磨损性能的机理。
