Features of Interaction of Fullerene Compositions with Friction Surfaces of Tribosystems
Abstract
The research on the formation of a lubricating film on the energetically active friction surfaces of tribosystems with a force field in the presence of fullerene compositions in the lubricant is performed in the work. It is shown that under the influence of the stress-deformed state of the surface layers, the friction surface acts as a "force field generator", which affects the formation of the electric field in the volume of the lubricating film. Expressions for calculating the intensity of the total force field of the "friction surface + lubricant" system have been obtained. Applying the method of dimensional analysis and experimental data, an expression is obtained for determining the thickness of the lubricating film that will be formed on the friction surface under the influence of the force electric fields of the friction surface and the liquid. The results of modeling the change in the thickness of the lubricating film, as well as the formation of clusters and micelles based on fullerene molecules from the intensity of force fields on the friction surface and in the volume of the lubricating film are presented.
