Abstract

MoS2:glycol hybrid nanoparticles were synthetized through a polyol route. Their tribological properties when used as lubricant additives in a PAO 6 base oil were investigated using a pin-on-disk tribometer. An important friction reduction and good anti-wear performances were observed compared to the base oil and to the no modified particles. The MoS2:glycol nanoparticles were characterized by thermogravimetric analysis, transmission electron microscopy, RAMAN spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Fourier transform infrared. Furthermore, the stability of the dispersion was followed by dynamic light scattering. On the other hand, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, Energy-Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy, and X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometry analysis showed that the tribofilm formed on the wear surfaces during the friction test is at the origin of the excellent tribological performance of the MoS2 nanoparticles. In particular, it was demonstrated that the interaction of MoS2 with the organic moiety of the nanoparticles plays a key role in the friction reduction and the good anti-wear properties of the dispersions.
