Lubricated “soft” contacts, where one or both contacting solids have a low elastic modulus,
are present in many practical engineering and biological applications including windscreen …

This work presents an alternative bearing surface in the field of total hip replacements. It is
composed of a polymer composite polyether-ether-ketone (Peek) as the matrix and a carbon …

Lubricated contacts are present in many engineering and biological systems involving soft
solids. Typical mechanisms considered for controlling the sliding friction in such lubricated …

Some commercial units and industries need more amount of cooling than the power such as
cold storage, shopping complex, etc. In this work, a new cooling cogeneration cycle …

Laser gas nitriding (LGN) is a common surface modification method to enhance the wear
resistance of titanium (Ti) alloys, which are known to have poor tribological properties. In the …

The classical wear mechanisms abrasion, fatigue, and adhesion are the most frequent
causes of surface changes of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) in …

Fibrous Parylene-C films with tilted columnar morphology were deposited with a
physicochemical version of the oblique-angle deposition (OAD) technique. Advancing …

Due to their excellent wear resistant properties and high strength, as well as a low Young's
modulus, Zr-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) are potentially suitable biomaterials for low …

NCD films deposited on silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramic substrates by hot-filament chemical
vapour deposition (HFCVD) technique were biotribologically assessed under lubrication of …

Abstract Poly‐ether‐ether‐ketone (PEEK), having shown favorable biocompatibility in spinal
applications is being considered as an alternative biomaterial in orthopaedics, either as part …
