Effect of particle morphology and concentration on density and viscosity of graphite nanolubricant
Naphthenic base nanolubricants with good stability were prepared by modifying nano graphite in two forms with silane coupling agent KH570. An oscillating densitometer and a rotary viscometer were used to test the density and viscosity of graphite nanolubricants with mass fraction of 0.05%
0.1%
0.2%
0.5%
1%
1.5%
and 2% in a temperature range from 288 K to 343 K. The results show that the density and viscosity of graphite nanolubricants increase with the increase of nanoparticle mass fraction. The densities of nanolubricants adding plate-shape graphite are higher than those with spherical graphite at the same mass fraction
while the viscosity shows opposite trend. The viscosity increases obviously at the temperature higher than 313 K with spherical graphite added. Correlations for the density and viscosity are developed as a function of nanoparticle concentration
particle size and shape. The correlation for density agrees well with experimental results
with 90% of the viscosities predicted within ±5% deviation from the measurement.
