Tribotechnical compositions from self-assembled carbon nanoarchitectonics, and applications thereof

Abstract

In one or more embodiments, this application relates to tribotechnical additive and lubricant compositions based on self-assembled carbon nanoarchitectonics derived through nanoscale modifications of organosilane-functionalized nanocarbon with one or multiple combinations of organo-molybdenum, organo-boron, organo-sulfur, organo-phosphorus, and heterocyclic compounds. The novel lubricant is characterized by having a composition comprising (A) one or more types of the novel additive compositions, (B) Base oil//lubricant, and optionally (C) one or more additives selected from the group including antioxidants, dispersants, detergents, anti-wear additives, extreme pressure additives, friction modifiers, viscosity index modifiers, seal swell additives, defoamers, pour point depressants and corrosion/rust inhibitors. The selfassembled carbon nanoarchitectonics is expected to enhance the surface chemistry, antiwear, antifriction, antioxidancy, electrothermal, and corrosion inhibiting characteristics of the tribotechnical compositions for formulating high-quality solutions in a wide range of applications.
