Effect of morphology and hydrophobization of MoS2 microparticles on the stability of poly-α-olefins lubricants

Résumé

The use of MoS ⁠ 2 nanoparticles as additive to lubricating oils is restricted by their low stability in oily media, which limits their use despite the enormous benefits associated with their intrinsic properties in terms of reduction of friction and wear coefficients. In this context, we investigated the effect of morphologies (platelets vs spheres) and surface functionalization of nanoparticles on the stability of their suspensions in poly-α-olefins (PAO) with various viscosities, which are base oils used in wind turbines. The particles were characterized by XRD, FTIR, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and dynamic light scattering, and the stability of the resultant formulations was followed by optical (non-contact) measurements. It was found that the dispersions had similar stability despite the larger size of platelet-like particles compared to spherical ones (1-5 μm vs 600-800 nm). The dispersibility could be increased through grafting of alkylsilane on the surface defects (the longer the alkyl chain, the more stable the formulation) and with the increase of the oil kinematic viscosity (from 34 to 1705 cps at 25 °C).
