A Comparison Between Graphene and WS2 as Solid Lubricant Additives to Aluminum for Automobile Applications
The purpose of this thesis was to compare graphene nanoplatelets (GNP) and WS2 as solid lubricant additives to aluminum in order to reduce friction and wear. The central hypothesis of this work relied on lubricating properties of 2D materials, which consist layers that slip under a shear force. Two...
