Researchers at Sunway University in Malaysia have developed a graphene-based lubricant, Infinoil, that they say can be used to reduce friction and wear, and improve engine efficiency in industrial applications more efficiently than products with chemical additives. The researchers said their new lubricant is based on the same principle as Teflon but has been made from graphene instead of carbon.
Researchers at Sunway University in Malaysia have developed a graphene-based lubricant, Infinoil, that they say can be used to reduce friction and wear, and improve engine efficiency in industrial applications more efficiently than products with chemical additives. The lubricant meets American Petroleum Institute (API), Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standards, and the team aim to commercialise the lubricant by the close of this year.
