The Accepted 4 February 2015 use of a nanoparticulate anti-friction (NPAF) coating is presented here as a feasible alternative solution. A Available online 11 February 2015 NPAF coating was fabricated by mixing nano-polytetrafluoroethylene (nano-PTFE) and polyacrylic resin Keywords: with a high-concentration nano-copper ethanol colloid. The nano-copper ethanol colloid, which was tubing and casing prepared by a patented liquid-phase reduction method, has a nano-copper particle concentration of nano-copper concentration from 14 to 20 wt%. The average particle size D50 of the nano-copper is about
