Abstract

The tribological behavior of two types of nanocrystalline molybdenum disulfide produced from natural molybdenum disulfide by monolayer dispersion in the presence of water (nano-MoS2(H2O)) and acetonitrile (nano-MoS2(CH3CN)) is studied. The study of the friction of these materials against polished and ground steels, as well as XPS examinations, show the advantage of the more thermally stable nano-MoS2(CH3CN), which is primarily due to the origin of low-molecular products adsorbed on the surfaces of nanoparticles.
