The shortage of new, high-performance domestic lubricants has become particularly serious due to the imposition of sanctions against the Russian Federation. Many high-tech lubricants have ceased to be imported into Russia from European Union countries, leading to potential production difficulties for certain products. One way to improve the service life and reliability of heavily loaded couplings and the quality of resulting products is to develop and use highly effective dry lubricants based on nanotechnology.
