Can CuO and ZnO be a good choice for additive in lubricants?

15 January 2015 1 7K Report

If yes then please explain why?

Actually with the help of ZnO we will be getting good results.Comparatively CuO will not be taking part as efficiently in whole of the cross platform reactions which will be sufficient for good lubrication or necessiated lubrication.

Thanks
