Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a fixable lubricant having extremely low surface energy and excellent lubricity and useful as a molecular-size bearing by introducing a substituent for promoting the adsorption to other material into a fluorinated fullerene. CONSTITUTION:The objective lubricating oil is produced by introducing a substituent for promoting the adsorption or bonding to other material into a fullerene having fluorine atoms bonded thereto. The lubricating oil is preferably produced by heating a fullerene which is a spherical molecule composed exclusively of carbon atoms and having carbon number of 60, 70, 76, etc., in fluorine gas to start the fluorination reaction, stopping the reaction in a state leaving unreacted part and introducing the above substituent into the molecule. The introduction of the substituent is preferably carried out by reacting the above fluorinated fullerene with a metal complex containing Pt, Pd, Co, etc., e.g. [(C6H5)3P]2Pt(eta<2>-C2H4).

The most commonly used lubricant is a lubricating oil, which forms a thin oil film between both solids to support the total weight and at the same time to completely separate the two surfaces to reduce the friction. When using liquid lubrication, it is ideal to have a lubrication state where the friction surface is thickened by the surface of the lubricant. If the film becomes as thin as a few molecular layers, boundary lubrication is entered. In this case, the coefficient of friction increases, the wear also increases, and the risk of seizure occurs, compared with the case of liquid lubrication. On the actual lubrication surface, it is customary that the boundary lubrication state is mixed at least partially.

The main type of conventional lubricant is to apply oil or other substance to the friction surface to prevent abrasion and burning, and reduce friction. When using liquid lubrication, it is ideal to have a lubrication state where the friction surface is thickened by the surface of the lubricant. If the film becomes as thin as a few molecular layers, boundary lubrication is entered. In this case, the coefficient of friction increases, the wear also increases, and the risk of seizure occurs, compared with the case of liquid lubrication. In order to avoid such a danger, finer and better lubricity is required. In particular, in a magnetic storage device that requires a high degree of reliability, conventional lubricants become insufficient as the recording density increases, and wear resistance between the magnetic head and the magnetic disk and lubrication characteristics are improved. Is an essential technology. Further, in the future, there is an increasing need for finer and better lubricity for micromachines such as micron-order motors and micromachines.

It is known that when a hydrogen atom of a hydrocarbon is replaced with a fluorine atom, the surface energy of the hydrocarbon is significantly reduced. this is,
This is because the strong bond energy between C and F and the polarizability of the C and F bond are small. Therefore, the surface energy depends on the type of material end group, and CF 3 group is the lowest.
