Lubrication Performance of Graphene as Lubricant Additive in 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphyl Liquid Crystal (5CB) for Steel/Steel Contacts

The lubrication performance of graphene used as additive in 4-n-pentyl-4′-cyanobiphyl liquid crystal (5CB) for steel/steel contacts was studied on a ball-on-plate tribotester. The friction test results show that when the graphene content in the 5CB was 0.15 wt.%, and the lubricant and fric...
