Abstract

The performance and effectiveness of nanoparticles as an additive in biobased natural ester (vegetable oil) lubricants are appraised. The entire chapter deals with the lubricating properties of additives as nanoparticles, which blend with biodegradable base oil that can reduce the wear and increase load-carrying capacity of base oil remarkably, indicating the high potential of nanoparticles as lubricant additives with excellent levels of performance. The prime and significant advantages of nanoadditives do not need tribo-active elements such as phosphorus and sulfur in principle because they deposit on the rubbing surface and improve the tribological properties of the base oil, displaying excellent friction and wear reduction characteristics. The superior characteristics of nanoadditives are relatively insensitive to temperature and that tribochemical reaction is limited, compared with traditional additives.
