This paper provides a review on the current research developments in high temperature
solid-lubricating materials. We first briefly discuss fundamental of high temperature solid …

In modern aerospace, nuclear energy, electric power and other high-tech industries,
increasingly more requirements are put forward for the enhanced performance and …

Solid lubricants are described as solid materials of intentionally introduced or in situ formed
on contact surfaces in relative motion for the purpose of lowering friction and wear and …

Tribological components cost only a fraction of the entire spacecraft, but they often lead to
failures that partially or completely disrupt the spacecraft, resulting in a mission compromise …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) has gained significant attention due to its exceptional
properties, which include a low friction coefficient, high wear resistance, and excellent …

Continuously increasing global population and, therefore, energy consumption as well as
diminishing resources combined with environmental aspects such as global warming ask for …

Progress in the design and exploration of hard coatings with high temperature adaptive
behavior in tribological contacts is reviewed. When coupled with most recent surface …

Molybdenum disulfide coatings have been employed as lubricants for spacecraft since the
1950s but continue to face major engineering challenges including performance in both …

Nowadays, one of the most important challenges in the tribology field is to avoid the
excessive consumption of soft metals such as Ag at elevated temperatures through the re …

Polymer nanocomposites operate in applications where fluid and grease lubricants fail, and
have superior tribological performance to traditional polymer composites. Nanoparticle fillers …
