In modern machines reduction of friction and wear is crucial to the correct functioning. The machine whichoperates more intricate requires a stern lubrication. By using a high quality lubricants in machine components enable towithstanding high temperatures and extreme pressures. To reduce surface damage and friction under different conditionsadditives are added to fluid lubricant to improve the tribological performance. Current research papers have announced thatthe addition of nanoparticles to lubricant is successful for the reduction of wear and friction in mechanical systems.However, inorganic nano particles very easily collect in many forms and have poor spreading capacity in organic solventsand oil, by this reason applications of many nanoparticles are limited. Anyway the spreading problem can be solved usingsome chemical and physical approaches. The investigation of tribological properties of nanoparticles used a soil additiveshave been done.
