Abstract
In this work, several phosphate-intercalated Mg-Al layered double hydroxides (LDHs) were synthesized and evaluated as solid lubricant additives in polyalphaolefin (PAO-4) by means of tribotesting on coupled GCr15/cast iron contacts. The effects of test parameters such as normal loads, additive concentrations, and substrate surface roughness were investigated, while the LDH crystal structure received considerable attention. Several types of structural disorder after anion exchange were identified based on X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The unstable structures promote feasible shearing during sliding to improve friction and wear. In addition, antiwear properties correlate well with the anion charge number or the quantity of anion in the interlayer region. Overall, the tribological performance increased in the order HPO42--LDH < PO43--LDH < P2O74--LDH < (PO3)66--LDH. (PO3)66--LDH demonstrated the best antiwear performance with a reduction of 69% of the ball volume loss compared to PAO-4 oil due to the synergy of the disordered stacking LDH sheets and flexible ring structure of the (PO3)66- anion. Furthermore, on polished surfaces, the coefficient of friction (COF) of the (PO3)66--LDH sample dropped significantly by 26%, while the wear loss reduction of more than 80% was also substantial compared to the base oil sample. A performance comparison between the best-performing LDH additive was also conducted against popular nanomaterials, such as hexagonal boron nitride (BN), graphene nanoplatelets (GNPs), and titanium oxide (TiO2). The performance of (PO3)66--LDH was close to that of GNPs.

Abstract
This research aims of compare the impact of the mass fraction of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) and titanium dioxide (TiO2) nano additive on the tribological and thermophysical attributes of turbine meter oil. These attributes include the average friction coefficient, pressure drop, wear, flash point, pour point, relative viscosity, kinematics viscosity, and viscosity index. The pressure drops and the average friction coefficient inside the copper tube were simulated and compared with experimental results. In this study, for the synthesis of nano lubricants from turbine meter oil as a pure fluid and from MWCNTs and TiO2 as nano additives in the mass fraction of 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4 wt.% and from oleic acid and Triton x100 as surfactants were utilized. The results illustrated that the wear depth of copper pins in the presence of nano lubricant with 0.4 wt.% of MWCNTs and 0.1 wt.% TiO2 was improved by 88.26% and 71.43%, respectively. Increasing 0.3 wt.% of TiO2 and MWCNTs into the oil caused to improvement in viscosity index. The simulation data and experimental data for the pressure drop were closer together and indicated a minor error that the maximum error is less than 10%.

Abstract
This work reports on the development of borate- and methacrylate-polymer-coated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnOBM) via a plasma polymerization technique to replace the harmful conventional antiwear additive zinc dialkyl dithiophosphate (ZDDP) in automotive lubricants. Here, the tribochemistry across the interfaces formed between sliding ferrous surfaces and coated and uncoated ZnO nanoparticles is thoroughly studied from the perspective of elucidating the tribofilm formation, wear, and friction performance of a novel ZnOBM-based nanolubricant. Tribological tests conducted under a boundary lubrication regime revealed that oil formulations containing only ZnOBM nanoadditives and a mixture of ZnOBM with a low amount of ZDDP (350 ppm of P) significantly improve wear performance (up to 95%) compared to the base oil. Electrical contact resistance results acquired in situ during tribological tests demonstrated that lubricants containing ZnOBM nanoparticles at sliding interfaces undergo tribochemical reactions to form stable tribofilms that reduce friction and wear. Atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray absorption near-edge spectroscopy (XANES), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis revealed that ZnOBM nanoparticles, by themselves, form patchy interfacial tribofilms containing iron borate, boron oxide, and zinc oxide and lead to superior tribological performance. Interestingly, ZnOBM nanoparticles interact synergistically with ZDDP to form a hierarchical interface of boron-doped tribofilms, with zinc-iron polyphosphates at the surface and iron oxide, zinc and iron sulfides in the bulk. These encouraging results suggest the potential effective use of the ZnOBM nanoparticles to significantly reduce harmful levels of ZDDP (350 ppm) in the engine oil without compromising the antifriction and antiwear performance and to develop eco-friendly high-performance lubricant additives.

Abstract
The engineering of composite surfaces and interfaces of materials at the micro/nano-hierarchical level with multiple functionalities is attracting increasing attention due to their biomimetic technological applications, especially the self-cleaning with gas bubbles, gas sensing and sustainable anti-friction performances. Herein, the ternary MoS2/SnO2/CNF (CNF: carbon nanofiber) was designed and assembled by an in situ facile method. Interestingly, its microstructure exhibits a necklace-like morphology. The MoS2/SnO2/CNF shows desirable bubble phobicity under water and in a PAO4 environment on various substrates, an acceptable gas-sensing ability to target gas with a detection limit of 5 ppm and fascinating tribological performances for additives in different kinds of base/lubricating oils. These results demonstrate that the necklace-like ternary MoS2/SnO2/CNF structure could have numerous applications in one system and may provide a new perspective in composite surface and interface materials engineering.

Abstract
Zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles, Zn0.88Mg0.12O (ZMO), were prepared by autocombustion method. Further, nanocomposites of the as-prepared nanoparticles with microwave-synthesized reduced graphene oxide (rGO) nanosheets, ZnO-rGO and ZMO-rGO, have also been prepared with a view to see the effect of doping of magnesium in zinc oxide on the tribological properties of the nanocomposite. Morphologies of nanoparticles/nanosheets and their nanohybrids have been studied by employing scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/high-resolution (HR) SEM with energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM)/HR-TEM, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared, UV-visible, Raman, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) techniques. Triboactivity of the additives in paraffin oil has been interpreted considering the parameters mean wear scar diameter, coefficient of friction, load-carrying capacity, and wear rates obtained from ASTM D4172 and ASTM D5183 tests using a four-ball lubricant tester at optimized concentration (0.125% w/v). The performance of base lube and its admixtures has been found to lie in the order ZMO-rGO > ZnO-rGO > ZMO > ZnO > rGO > paraffin oil. Outstanding enhancement in triboactivity of nanocomposites, particularly that of ZMO-rGO indicates that nanoparticles are irrefutably instrumental in reinforcement of rGO, and on the other hand, rGO is associated with abatement of agglomeration of the nanoparticles. Thus, interactions between rGO and nanoparticles are vehemently synergic in nature. It is noteworthy that the best results were obtained with the following optimized concentrations: ZnO/ZMO 0.25%; rGO 0.15% and composites 0.125% w/v. Morphological studies of the wear track lubricated with different additives have been performed using SEM and contact mode atomic force microscopy. Results are in conformity with the order given above. The EDX analysis of ZMO-rGO exhibits the presence of zinc and magnesium on the worn surface, supporting their role in the formation of in situ tribofilm. Their role is further corroborated by XPS studies. Owing to their excellent tribological behavior, these sulfur- and phosphorus-free composites may be recommended as potential wear and friction modifiers.
