Article Abstract
Eco-friendly two-dimensional (2D) nanolubricants have emerged as promising candidates for advanced functional materials. However, challenges such as poor dispersion stability and weak interfacial adhesion limit their widespread application. Herein, we developed a method to tailor WS nanosheets functionalized with γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS), enhancing their interaction with phosphate ester groups from di(2-ethylhexyl) phosphate (DEPS), which leads to the creation of gel-like WS-NH-DEPS additives with excellent dispersive and tribological properties in polyalphaolefin (PAO6). Specifically, a 0.5 wt % WS-NH-DEPS/PAO6 dispersion achieves the reduction of ∼40% in the coefficient of friction (COF) and the decrease of ∼70% in the wear scar diameter (WSD) compared to pure PAO6. Surface analysis reveals that the unique structure of exfoliated WS nanosheets and their synergistic interactions with phosphonate groups facilitate the formation of a hybrid protective film composed of embedded WS nanosheets, phosphoric acid compounds, and other oxides such as FeO, FeNO, and FeSO to enhance the tribological performance, providing essential insights for developing nanomaterial-based lubricants in advanced mechanical systems.

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS) exhibits excellent lubrication capacity rooted in its layered structure, but it suffers significant structural and functional deterioration due to oxidation in ambient environments, limiting its applications. Concerted efforts are focused on enhancing the antioxidation ability of MoS, but challenges remain. This work conceptualizes and demonstrates a contrarian design of MoS-based film via metal incorporation and oxidation based on consideration of key fundamental principles of thermodynamics, chemistry, and physical mechanics.

This study aims to find the quick ways to predict sensorial attributes of sunscreens using instrumental measurements. We specifically focus on the attributes most relevant to consumer 'liking' and the easiest measurements to implement in industrial labs for product development. Of the latter, we consider three types of measurements: emulative 'textural' tests typically performed with a texture analyser as well as rheological and tribological measurements.

The development of environmentally friendly solid lubricants with exceptional wear resistance is imperative to address the escalating environmental concerns and performance limitations of conventional lubricants in demanding tribological applications. This study systematically investigated the wear resistance of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC)/tungsten disulfide (WS)/graphene composites under normal applied loads (2 and 4 N) and varying solid lubricant contents (stoichiometric ratios of 0.2 referred to as CWG-0.

Cellulose, a sustainable and biodegradable biopolymer, has emerged as a promising candidate for lubricant additives due to its ability to form protective boundary layers, reduce surface roughness, and enhance load-bearing capacity. This review explores the underlying tribological mechanisms, such as the mending effect, physical adsorption, and hydrogen bonding, which contribute to the performance of cellulose-based lubricants. Various applications are then discussed across liquid, semisolid, and solid lubrication systems.
