Abstract:
1. A lubricating composition for a mechanical system comprising: a base lubricant; and at least one carbon-containing additive that forms a tribologically effective amount of at least one graphitic carbon-containing structure when the lubricating composition is exposed to heat sufficient to create locally pyrolitic conditions within a mechanical system in which it is utilized, wherein the graphitic carbon-containing structure comprises one or more surface-graphitized abrasive nanoparticles comprising at least one non-carbon hetero-atom enveloped by an outer shell comprising substantially carbon, wherein the graphitic carbon-containing structure comprises a nano-polishing agent configured to remove substantially all of the asperities from an internal friction surface of the mechanical system, wherein the carbon-containing additive comprises a cyclic molecule.
