In this research, graphene nanosheets (GN), carbon nanotubes (CNT), and graphene oxide (GO) were used as lubricant additives to investigate their effect on tribological properties. Friction coefficient and wear scar diameter were studied as parameters to determine the effectiveness of lubricant. In this study, vegetable oil (VO) was used as base fluid lubricant. GN, CNT and GO were added at 50ppm and 100ppm respectively to VO to study their optimum concentration when compared to pure VO. All nanoparticles were well dispersed by using a homogenizer. Results showed that addition of 50ppm GN has the most positive effect in improving the tribological properties of vegetable oil. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd. publisher: Institute of Physics Publishing date: 2017 type: Conference or Workshop Item type: PeerReviewed identifier: Kiu, S.S.K. and Yusup, S. and Chok, V.S. and Taufiq, A. and Kamil, R.N.M. and Syahrullail, S. and Chin, B.L.F.
