Researchers have created a new class of non-liquid lubricants that have been shown to significantly reduce friction and wear under extreme conditions. They can be used in many applications such as air compressors and missile systems. The new liquid-free composite is made from a slurry of graphene, zinc oxide and polyvinylidene fluoride. Graphene is an extremely thin carbon layer with many potential technical uses, including lubrication. According to Vilas Pol, associate professor of chemical engineering at Purdue University, USA, “It has excellent thermal conductivity, high strength and ultra-low friction. Chemical engineering graduate student Arthur Dysart said that the nano-scale zinc oxide developed by the R&D team. The particles cause the lubricant to adhere to the metal surface and the polymer binds the entire mixture together. Many machines require solid lubricants, such as air compressors, equipment used in the food industry, spacecraft, gears and chain mechanisms, in high temperature environments. Fasteners, missile systems, high-speed printers, hydraulic motors in winches, cranes and military vehicles, high-performance shredders and rigs. Farshid Sadeghi, a distinguished professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, said: "The root cause of mechanical failure is Friction and wear, so reducing these factors can improve the performance and service life of many mechanical systems. “Although liquid lubricant technology has advanced, it cannot be used in high temperature or low pressure situations, such as vacuum environments, so dry solid lubricants are a viable alternative to liquid lubricants in extreme operating environments.†The researchers tested the coating Stainless steel surface with new lubricant. Abdullah A. Alazemi, a graduate student in mechanical engineering, said: "We tested in the most demanding situations. The durability and resilience of this adhesive coating demonstrates the excellent potential as a dry lubricant for high load bearing machinery. "(Compile: China Superhard Materials Network)
