Abstract
• Comparison of studies on graphene, GO, and rGO in various grease formulations • Chemical modifications enhance graphene dispersion and agglomeration control • Tribological outcomes vary by particle size, concentration and grease type • Visual collations synthesize and compare results across multiple studies on greases • Recommendations address industrial applications and sustainable grease designs The integration of carbon-based additives, such as graphene, graphene ox- ide (GO), and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), into lubricating greases has attracted significant interest in the field of tribology. These materials exhibit unique properties such as exceptional mechanical strength, low interlayer shear resistance, and high thermal conductivity, which act to enhance the performance of lubricating greases. This review paper explores grease formation, types, and performance, focusing on the potential advantages and limitations of graphene derivatives as lubricant additives. Graphene has been shown to reduce friction and wear, improve load-carrying capacity, and enhance thermal stability through various research projects. Despite the promising results, challenges such as effective dispersion, scalability of synthesis, and grease structure compatibility remain. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of current research, highlighting the benefits, limitations, and future directions for graphene-based additives in lubricating greases.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
