Present publication describes one of the most interesting materials discovered in recent years, which is graphene. This paperwork contains information about graphene’s structure, properties, applications and methods of synthesis. The special attention has been given to tribological applications of graphene structures, including the usage of the graphene itself in the composite materials, protective integuments, and additives to lubricants (oils, greases). This publication was based on the information and research results published in the international articles and preliminary researches realized at the Military University of Technology as well. The research results concern the changes of basic lubricants’ parameters, which contain different amount of graphene oxide (or comparatively of hexagonal boron nitride). The results obtained during the tests indicate that graphene oxide could improve lubricating abilities of oils and greases.Keywords: tribology, lubricants, graphene, graphene oxide.
