Abstract

Smooth and solid WS2 submicrospheres were prepared by a laser irradiation induced fragmentation and morphological reshaping process using bulk-slice WS2 particles as targets in solution. Such submicrospheres as additives in paraffin liquid show remarkably enhanced friction reduction and anti-wear properties in comparison with raw WS2 slices.
