    摘要: An engine oil additive includes carbon nanotubes and boron nitride particulates dispersed within a fluid. The additive is configured to be mixed with a quantity of oil such that the quantity of oil has a concentration from 0.05 to 0.5 grams of carbon nanotubes and of boron nitride particulates per quart of oil to improve the lubricity of the oil. The additive improves the horsepower and torque of the engine while reducing fuel consumption. The carbon nanotubes have an —OH functionalized exterior surface. The carbon nanotubes have a diameter from 1 nanometer to 50 nanometers and have a length from 1 micron to 1000 microns. The boron nitride particulates are hex-boron nitride structures having an average size from 30 nanometers to 500 nanometers.

    摘要: The present invention provides a lubricant composition suitable for reducing friction between sliding members such as those within a pump for circulating a heat medium of a heat pump device, and a lubricating system using the composition as a heat medium. A lubricant composition 10 of the present invention comprises: an antifreeze liquid 11 containing ethylene glycol; and 0.01 mass % or less of nanodiamond particles 12. The nanodiamond particles 12 are preferably detonation nanodiamond particles. The lubricant composition 10 is preferably a liquid composition for a heat pump. In addition, the lubricating system of the present invention uses the lubricant composition 10 as a heat medium.
