Short-term safety and risk evaluation of engine oil enriched by high concentrations copper nanoparticles on the skin
Abstract<br /> Objective(s): Copper nano particles are added to ordinary engine oil as an additive to reduce friction and repair damaged surface under friction conditions. However, it is still unclear what environmental effects such a compound might have on conventional engine oils and its tox...
