This research thoroughly examined the tribological characteristics of polyalphaolefin (PAO4) oil, both with and without incorporation methyl silicone resin. The evaluation anti-wear properties friction reduction was conducted using a four-ball tester for wear. resin into PAO4 at 25 °C significantly reduced wear scar diameter (WSD), achieving minimum values concentration 0.02 wt.%. wt.% shows excellent resistance different temperatures. A detailed analysis surfaces debris scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Raman spectroscopy, 3D surface profiler TEM. results compellingly demonstrate that remarkable improvement in is predominantly due to strategic formation SiO2 nanoparticles during process. These particles not only adeptly fill gaps interface but also crucially contribute robust tribochemical film, which instrumental enhancing performance.
