Branch-chain length modulated graphene oxides for regulating the physicochemical and tribophysical properties of pickering emulsions

To save energy and meet the demand of advanced manufacturing technology, great efforts on the development of new technologies and materials are made to reduce or even eliminate friction and wear. Of particular interests, the graphitic materials are very promising. In this study, graphene oxide (GO) based Pickering emulsions are developed as a novel water-based lubrication system. Alkylamines with varied branch-chain lengths (C = 0, 4, 8) are...
