4. Conclusions
- Using capillary compression in rapidly evaporating aerosol droplet methods, crumpled graphene oxide balls were prepared. The degree of shrinkage of CGBs is different with different heating times. The dispersion stability of CGBs in water or ionic liquid was improved.
- The tribological properties of CGB nano-additives were studied. Compared with GO, tribological performance was further improved. CGB-1 retains a part of the lamellar structure and partially shrinks. During the friction process, a protective layer is formed on the surface of the friction pair. At the same time, the part that shrinks into a wrinkled ball can avoid stacking after long-term friction. Therefore, the effect of partially shrunk CGB-1 is better than that of CGB-2.
- To obtain the best lubricants with improved friction-reduction and wear-resistance properties in various lubricating states, fine-tuning of the degree of crumpling, as a function of the operating conditions (mainly temperature, concentration, and N2 flow rate), will be investigated in our future work.
