Rapid dispersion of particles: These solids are capable of dispersing quickly when placed in a liquid medium

摘要

Solid lubricants such as molybdenum disulfide and polytetrafluoroethylene are very effective at reducing friction and increasing the load-carrying capacity of lubricants. Due to the insolubility of these materials in oil and water, introducing them into liquid lubricants has proved to be a challenge. This problem is overcome by placing the solid lubricants into stable dispersions in either oil or water. Typically, the concentration of the solid lubricant in the dispersion can range from 10% up to 35%.
