Description
Summary:Nanotribological properties have a significant impact on daily life. Ionic liquids (ILs) are becoming new favourable lubricants currently in researches. Addition of nanooxide materials in lubricants provide improvements to new technology. In this study, we determine nanotribological properties of BMIM+BF4− IL addition of different amount of ZnO nanomaterial on single crystals silicon wafer (Si110). The viscosity changes of IL samples against temperature increase were determined by rheological method. Nanotribological properties were determined by changes in friction coefficient and wear rate on silicon substrate surfaces using a reciprocating friction and wear monitor in 1 hour duration time. Aluminium cylinders acted as pins used to rub Si (110) substrate sample surfaces. Thus, on range between 0 mg to 3.5 mg of ZnO nanooxide material dispersed in 10ml BMIM+BF4− showed a good friction coefficient, wear and surface roughness reduction.
