ABSTRACT SYNTHESIS AND CHARACTERIZATION OF BORON COMPOSITE NANOPARTICLES FOR WEAR AND FRICTION REDUCTION Since most of the conventional lubricants reach their performance limits, new antiwear and extreme pressure (EP) additives are designed so that lubricants can minimize friction and wear when used in high temperature and pressure conditions. There is growing interest in the use of nanoparticles as an additive in lubricants. Due to its outstanding chemical properties, boron is frequently involved in the design of nanoparticles. Especially borate derivatives and hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) have already taken their places in many lubricant formulations. The aim of this study was the production of silica-boron composite nanoparticles that can replace the phosphate-derived additives used in lubricant formulations and to provide the extreme pressure, antiwear and friction-regulating properties at the same time. For this purpose, the Stöber method that is used for silica production was modified to produce Si/Na-Borate nanoparticles. It was found that the synthesis of composite nanoparticles in desired size distribution and morphology as well as composite structures composed of Si and Na-Borate, was possible changing the amounts of ingredients and modes of addition. It was observed that the morphology and the chemical structure of these particles depend on the amount of Na-Borate (1, 3, and 5% w/w) and the addition type of Na-Borate (Direct, 500 PL/min, 5PL/min). Then composite nanoparticles were characterized using SEM, FTIR and ICP-MS and some tests were conducted to examine the structure of particles. The tribological performance of these particles tested using Four Ball Test method have shown that there is a significant improvement in the presence of these particles. iv ÖZET $ù,10$9(6h57h10(<ø$=$/70$.ødø1%25.2032=ø7 1$127$1(/(5ø16(17(=ø9(.$5$.7(5ø=$6<218 .RQYDQVL\RQHO RODUDN NXOODQÕODQ \D÷OD\ÕFÕODUÕQ oR÷X SHUIRUPDQV VÕQÕUODUÕQD XODúWÕ÷Õ LoLQ \D÷OD\ÕFÕODUÕQ \NVHN VÕFDNOÕN YH EDVÕQo NRúXOODUÕQGD NXOODQÕOGÕ÷ÕQGD sürtünmH YH DúÕQPD\Õ PLQLPL]H HGHELOPHOHUL DPDFÕ\OD \HQL DúÕQPD |QOH\LFL (AW: Antiwear YH DúÕUÕ EDsÕQo (3 ([WUHPH 3UHVVXUH NDWNÕODUÕ WDVDUODQPDNWDGÕU 1DQRWDQHOHULQ \D÷OD\ÕFÕODUGD NDWNÕ RODUDN NXOODQÕPÕ NRQXVXQGD JLGHUHN DUWDQ ELU LOJL YDUGÕUgQHoÕNDQNLP\asal özellikleri nedeniyle bor, nanotanelerin WDVDUÕPÕQGDVÕNOÕNOD NXOODQÕOPDNWDGÕU.

    LOW AND ZERO SAPS ANTIWEAR ADDITIVES FOR ENGINE OILS by Juliane F. L. Benedet A Thesis submitted to Imperial College London in fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Diploma of Imperial College. November 2012 Tribology Section Department of Mechanical Engineering Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine London PREFACE This thesis is a description of work carried out in the Tribology Section of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London, under the supervision of Professor Hugh A. Spikes. Except where acknowledged, this material is original work and no part of it has been submitted for a degree at this or any other university. ABSTRACT Almost all modern engine lubricants use the additive zinc dialkyldithiophosphate (ZDDP) to provide antiwear and extreme pressure protection. However existing and proposed emissions regulations include constraints in the concentration of ZDDP or other sulphated ash-, phosphorus- and sulphur- (SAPS) containing additives in engine oils, as well as limits to the permissible phosphorus loss from the oil in running engines. The deleterious effects of SAPS on exhaust aftertreatment systems from ZDDP decomposition has lead to a great interest in identifying alternative low and zero SAPS antiwear additives that can partially of fully replace ZDDP in the next generation of engine oils to extend the life of exhaust after-treatment systems. The aim of the work described in this thesis is to explore under the same test conditions, the film-forming, friction and wear-reducing properties of a very wide range of low and zero SAPS antiwear additives as possible replacements for ZDDP in engine oils, and, where additive types are effective, to investigate their mechanism of action.

However, despite the improvement of steel properties, some factors such as downsizing in bearing design, extreme loading of the bearings as well as demanding application conditions (start up-stop cycles) have led to an increase on the cases of surface damage related to surface initiated fatigue, that comes basically from surface distress. Possible causes leading to surface initiated fatigue are: material and surface properties, marginal lubrication and lubricant chemical composition.
