Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) wrapped by polyacrylamide (PAM) were synthesized through the insitu free‐radical polymerization of acrylamide in the presence of the CNTs. Transmission electron microscopy was used to characterize the synthetic CNTs/PAM. This product dissolved easily in water. The effects of the synthetic product as an additive on the load‐carrying capacity and antiwear behavior of a water‐based fluid were investigated with a four‐ball tribotester. The worn surface images of the steel balls were observed by scanning electron microscopy. The results showed that CNTs/PAM at a certain concentration in the base stock effectively raised the load‐carrying capacity and antiwear ability.
