In the past few years, WS2and MoS2nanoparticles (IF) with structures closely related to (nested) carbon fullerenes and nanotubes have been synthesized. It was shown before that addition of a small amounts of such nanoparticles to lubricating fluid largely improve the tribological properties of contact surfaces. In the present work, impregnation of the nanoparticles into a porous powder (bronze–graphite) matrix is demonstrated. The critical point to seizure of the powder matrix impregnated with mineral oil, 2H–WS2platelets and IF nanoparticles was measured and is 300, 570 and 950N, respectively. The friction coefficient of the powder matrix lubricated by oil and oil+IF-WS2was measured. It was found that the addition of the IF nanoparticles in the oil decreased the friction coefficient by 30–50% as compared to the surfaces lubricated by the oil alone. The main effect of IF nanoparticles in comparison to 2H–WS2platelets appears to be the storage of the nanoparticles for long periods of times within the pores and the gradual release and furnishing to the contact surface. Once released from the pores, IF nanoparticles protect better the rubbed surfaces against straight contact.
