The current work investigates the structural changes of graphite (CG) when employed as an additive in palm kernel oil (PKO)-based nanolubricants without and with oleic acid (OA) surfactant. A four-ball tribotester was used to study the tribological performance of PKO + CG nanolubricants. PKO + CG na...
