Application of Nano Copper in Lubricating Oil

Overview of Nano Copper Lubricant Additives

Articles made of nanomaterials have many peculiar properties. For example, a nano-copper has superplastic ductility and can be stretched more than 50 times at room temperature without cracks. Researchers from the french national research center found that copper nanocrystals with an average volume of only 80 nanometers have amazing mechanical properties. The strength is not only three times higher than that of ordinary copper, but also the deformation is very uniform, without obvious regional narrowing. This is the first time that scientists have observed such a perfect elastoplastic behavior of matter. This mechanical property of copper nanocrystals opens up a bright future for the manufacture of elastic materials at room temperature.

Used as thermal hydrogen generator, gel propellant, combustion activator, catalyst, water cleaning adsorbent, sintering activator, antibacterial agent, etc.

Nano copper reacts more easily with oxygen than ordinary copper

The copper atoms in the nano-copper are the same as those of ordinary copper, but the nano-copper particles are very small.

The chemical properties of nano-copper are more active than ordinary copper, and even change the inherent properties, but nano-materials do not change the state of matter.

The bactericidal mechanism of copper: Cu chemically reacts with water under aerobic conditions to produce hydroxyl radicals (-OH) and reactive oxygen ions (O2-). They have a strong redox effect and can destroy the proliferation ability of microbial cells. So as to inhibit microorganisms. The specific surface area of nano-copper increases and chemical reactions are more likely to occur.

Copper is a heavy metal, and it is recognized that heavy metals have a bactericidal effect (such as silver). Heavy metals are all toxic, and reaching a certain dose in the human body will have an impact on health, and even cause disease and poisoning (silver also has certain neurotoxicity and genetic toxicity). Copper is one of the essential trace elements for the human body and can be metabolized and absorbed by the human body, while silver is difficult to metabolize in the human body and will be enriched in the human body. Therefore, Europe and the United States have banned the use of nano-silver as antibacterial agents, and some use nano-copper as an alternative.

Application of nano-copper lubricating additives

Nano copper has broad application prospects in improving engine lubrication, reducing friction and wear, improving engine power performance, reducing pollution, and extending service life.

Wear, corrosion, and fatigue are the three forms of mechanical material failure. The economic loss caused by wear is huge. The global primary energy consumption is about 1/30, and friction consumes nearly 80% of the parts. The most effective way to reduce the use of lubricating oil to reduce friction or avoid wear, and as a lubricating oil additive to improve the quality of lubricating oil, is the focus of research in various countries. Significantly improve its lubrication performance and carrying capacity. Reduce friction coefficient, reduce friction resistance and extend machine life. This is one of the most successful applications so far. Under the action of the electric field formed by the friction process, the nanoparticles are deposited on the friction surface by electric pulse motion, forming a dense protective film, showing good anti-friction and anti-wear performance, and at the same time under high load and high-speed driving, The addition of nano-copper can effectively improve the anti-wear performance of engine lubricants and prolong the service life of engine wearing parts.
