This paper investigates the effect of inclusion of formulated organic nanoparticles of Eichhornia crassipes carbon nanotubes (EC-CNTs) in two different base lubricant (rapeseed and mineral oils) as lubricant additives. The use of inorganic ZDDP anti-wear additive was employed for comparison. The Ram...
