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%

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.
