| Abstract: | The morphological influence of molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) on the tribological properties of rapeseed oil (RO) was investigated. MoS2 nano-vesicles improved the tribological properties of RO, especially the wear resistance. However, nano-platelets and micro-platelets weakened the wear resistance because of their bad dispersibility in RO. Positive synergistic lubrication was observed between nano-vesicles and nano-platelets, but not between nano-vesicles and micro-platelets or nano-platelets and micro-platelets. Abrasive plowing is the main wear manner for the steel balls lubricated by RO or ROs with platelet-like MoS2. However, chemical corrosive wear occurred on the friction surface as lubricated by RO with nano-vesicles. The chemical corrosive wear confirmed the entering of MoS2 nano-particles to the contact area for lubrication. This lubrication of nano-vesicles was ascribed to their spherical structure and good dispersibility in RO. The nano-vesicles did not influence the stability of RO and assembled beside furrows to alleviate the wear. Thus, potential applications of MoS2 nano-vesicles in vegetable oils were revealed. |
