Improved Loss-of-Lubrication Performance with Lubricants Containing Nano-Graphene Platelets and Ionic Liquids

In this study, nano-graphene platelets (NG) and a phosphonium-phosphate-based ionic liquid (IL) were studied as additives to rotorcraft gearbox oil to improve the resistance to scuffing under starved lubricated conditions. Behavior under a loss of lubrication was evaluated using a high-speed ball-on...
