The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

Friction is undoubtedly one of the most common yet intriguing physical phenomena
encountered in our daily lives. It would be impossible to play a stringed instrument or write …

Superlubricity is defined as a sliding regime in which friction, or the resistance to sliding of
two relatively moving surfaces, almost vanishes. From a practical point of view, the …

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are generally in a solid-solution state, possessing some superior
properties over conventional alloys due to their microstructural homogeneity, effective multi …

In present work, a superlubricity phenomenon of phosphoric acid (H3PO4) was found under
ambient conditions. An ultralow friction coefficient of about 0.004 between glass/Si3N4 and …

In the present work, we show that the superlubricity can be achieved when the polyhydroxy
alcohol solutions are mixed with acid solutions. The lowest friction coefficients between …

Superlubricity is generally classified as solid superlubricity and liquid superlubricity
according to the lubricants involved at the interfaces, and is a popular research topic in …

Friction and the wear caused by friction will not only lead to energy dissipation, but will also
cause damage to the function of mechanical parts, affecting the precision and lifespan of …

CrN coatings were deposited on 2024Al alloy using arc ion plating apparatus. The CrN
coatings' topography was observed by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The …

Tetrahedral amorphous carbon nitride (ta-CNx), as an emerging and promising diamond-
like carbon (DLC), has better mechanical properties than amorphous carbon nitride (a-CNx) …
