Resumen

This work reports the employment of metallic nanoparticles (palladium and gold) with a mean particle size of 2.2 nm surface-protected with tetraalkylammonium and alkanethiolate chains, respectively, as lubricant additives. Dispersions of both types of nanoparticles (5 wt%) are prepared using tetrabutylammonium acetate (TBA) and paraffin as base oils, respectively. The tribological properties are then evaluated by a ball-on-disc tribometer at two different loads (7 and 15 N) with excellent results: friction (<0.1), wear rate (∼10-10 mm3/Nm). The excellent anti-wear response is explained by the formation of a metal-containing transfer film and their action as counterface spacers avoiding direct contact.
