Improvement in the anti-wear (AW) and extreme pressure (EP) ability of chemically modified jatropha oil (CMJO) by adding nanoparticles was experimentally evaluated. Nano-lubricants were synthesized by adding 1 wt% tungsten disulfide (WS2) nanoparticles to CMJO. The AW/EP ability of trial oils were e...
