The technology of synthesis of magnetic lubricating oils based on carboxylic acid diesters is considered. A distinctive feature of the synthesis process is the creation of protective polymer shells on dispersed particles by means of monomer polycondensation to increase the colloidal stability of nano oils under boundary friction conditions. The experimental data presented convincingly show that the lubricating properties of magnetic oils can be significantly improved by introducing additives and fillers into their composition. In some friction modes, magnetic oils show even higher tribo-properties than traditional non-magnetic oils. The created magnetic nano oil with high anti-friction and anti-wear properties can be used to lubricate magnetic bearings, magnetic-liquid mechanical seals, gears with a magnetic lubrication system, etc.
