Synergistic tribological behaviors of graphene oxide and nanodiamond as lubricating additives in water

There have been insistent demands for effective lubricants as well as additives for reducing friction and wear in various applications. Recently, graphene oxide (GO) and nanodiamond (ND) have been observed to be promising materials to reduce friction and wear in tribological studies. Herein, a novel lubricant has been developed by using GO and ND together as lubricant additives in water in order to enhance tribological performance. The...
