Fe-MWNTs

Multiwalled nanotubes containing iron particles, used for the synthesis, from Nanocyl Company (Fe-MWNTs). 

As in the case of single-walled nanotubes, a comparison of the tribological performances of multiwalled nanotubes with catalytic particles or without catalytic particles was performed. Figure 3.62 presents results obtained with MWNTs and Fe-MWNTs. The reduction of friction with Fe-MWNTs is very low compared with MWNTs. In the same way, a very low reduction of wear occurs with Fe-MWNTs (Figure 3.63). 

Figure 3.63 Wear scar observed on pins after friction with (a) pure PAO and (b) PAO + 0.5 wt% Fe-MWNTs. The addition of Fe-MWNTs leads to a very low wear reduction...
