Abstract
In the current paper, it is demonstrated that nanoadditives based on detonation nanodiamonds used in combination with other antifriction\antiwear additives provide from modest to significant improvements of the tribological properties of the commercial lubricating oils depending on the initial formulated oil properties. It was also demonstrated that functionalization of DND surface with fluorine provides beneficial effect. Fluorine-containing DNDs demonstrated superior tribological properties as compared to the pristine non-functionalized particles.
