The alternative additives ( anti oxidation, Visco index enhancers, anti rusting, anti foaming etc ) to the conventional ones possibly locally sorted.
Dear Dr. Omokhogbo Raphael,
I think that the topic regarding nanomaterial-based lubrication systems in automotive sector may be a very interesting future development, that is facilitated by the progress of the nanotechnology in recent years.
In literature, a variety of nanoparticles have been used as lubricant additives with potentially interesting friction and wear properties. Although there has been several experimental research on nanoparticles as lubricating oil additives, many aspects are yet to be fully understood. For example: what types of nanoparticles act as a better lubricating oil additive and why? Some other aspects of their tribological behavior (e.g. dispersion stability and morphology) are also highlighted.
Best regards, Pierluigi Traverso
Dear Mr Omokhogbo Raphael,
Sorry, this is out of my research area. I think this research trend can highly developed the automotive performance.
you can think about oxidation resistant, long lasting life, additives, water tolerance, recycling of oils, improvement in TAN , improvement in shelf life, etc.
