Abstract
Nanolubricants are the advanced form of lubricants which can improve efficiency in term of both energy saving and enhancing the machinery life cycle. Nowadays, these advanced lubricants are the hot topic of great interest due to their high potential application in wide areas. Previous studies have clarified that even a minute quantity of nanoparticle, when dispersed in base fluid shows great potential to improves physical, chemical transport, thermal, and radiative properties of base engine oil. This paper focuses on the preparation of nanofluid and their properties along with the application of wide range of nanoparticles in lubricants. Buckminsterfullerene, detonation nanodiamonds, ultradispersed boric acid, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) are the considered various range of nanomaterial. Modern advancement had been done on engineering lubricants by grafting the nanoparticle in traditional lubricants or high viscous fluid like Grease. It is strongly suggested that nanomaterials have the latent for enhancing convinced lubricant property. Still, there is a time-consuming step need to be followed in order to formulate or developed nanolubricant to enhance the properties of traditional oil.
