The tribological characteristics of this kind motor oil and the well-known motor oils in our country and overseas were studied. The results show that the oil film strength of this kind of motor oil is respectively 1.06 and 1.38 times of that of shell helix ultra motor oil and great wall motor oil, and its sintering load is 1.75 and 2.33 times of that of them, and when tested under 392 N, 1 450 r/rain and 30 min, the friction coefficients of friction pairs lubricated by the tungsten disulfide motor oil decrease with the increase of time, meanwhile, the diameter of worn spot is small, and the surface of worn spot is smooth, and no obvious furrows appear. The experiments indicate that the tungsten disulfide motor oil has the better antiwear, antifriction and extreme pressure properties than the well-known motor oils.展开更多

The WS2 films were deposited on a Si （100） substrate and a zinc sulfide （ZnS） film coated the Si （100） substrate using tungsten hexacarbonyl and hydrogen sulfide as precursors. The ZnS film served as an intermediate layer to facilitate the nucleation and growth of the WS2 films. The thickness of the WS2 films was measured via scanning electron microscope, the microstructure was probed with an X-ray diffractometer and a transmission electron microscope. The friction coefficient was measured with a ball-on-disk tester under dry nitrogen. The results reveal that the WS2 films deposited on both substrates are N175 nm and have （002） and （101） crystal orientations. The WS2 film deposited on the ZnS coated Si substrate exhibits a stronger （002） orientation and a denser crystal structure than that deposited on the Si substrate. The WS2 films on both substrates have low friction coefficients. How- ever, due to the stronger （002） orientation and denser crystal structure, the friction coefficient of the WS2 film deposited on ZnS coated Si substrate is smaller with longer wear life.展开更多

The covalent attachment of functional species onto the surface of INT-WS2 is a critical first step in realizing the potential that INT-WS2 offer for high-performance materials and products. Although a few attempts have been reported regarding preparing modified nanotubes, only a limited range of surface functionalities is possible with these methods. We have developed a versatile method, based on a modified, highly electrophilic acidic Vilsmeier- Haack reagent, to produce covalently bonded, polycarboxylated functional WS2 nanotubes that are dispersible in polar liquids, including water. The surface polycarboxylated shell provides a means for additional derivatization, enabling matching compatibility of derivatized nanotubes to both hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials. Nanocomposites incorporating derivatized INT-WS2 are expected to show improved properties as a result of enhanced interfacial compatibility, made possible by the large number of classes of functionalization available through the initial polycarboxylation step.展开更多
