Abstract

A new nanowire-like material with the chemical formula Mo₆S₃I₆ was studied as an additive in a synthetic base oil, a polyalphaolefin (PAO). This material presents interesting friction reducing properties, friction coefficient reaching a value of 0.04 in boundary lubrication. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterize nanowires before and after friction. The combination of these techniques gave evidence of MoS₂ formation in contact area during friction test. This structural evolution of nanowires explains their good friction reducing properties.
