The Study On Synthesis Of Magnesium Borate Nanoparticles And Its Ability Of Antifriction

Nanoparticles have many special properties,such as small particle size, high surface activity and high surface energy, which make them apply in extensive field. At present, as additives of lubricant nanoparticles arouse many researchers'interest. How to improve the stability and solubility of nanopaticles is the hot issue in the field of materials science. Now many kinds of nanoparticles have been prepared and tested as additives of lubricantion. More study on synthesis nanoparticles and applying it into wearing alleviation will be benefit to improve the use of the machine equipment efficiently and longer. In the paper, We have discussed the methods of how to prepared the magnesium borate. An antifrication experiment was carried out by putting the nanoparticles into 500SN base oil in our lab.A novel approach was employed in the synthesis of magnesium borate by a new method of microemulsion using Disodium tetraborate decahydrate and Magnesium sulfate anhydrous as raw materials, TritonX-100 as a surfactant, n-Hexanol as a co-surfactant, Cyclohexane as an oil phase. Many factors have been studied ,such as different kinds of surfactant, mole ratio of H2O and surfactant, temperature, amount of Na2B4O7 and MgSO4 influencing on the magnesium borate nanoparticles...
