Surface texturing and solid lubricants have demonstrated the ability to substantially reduce
friction and wear under dry conditions. In recent decades, these two technologies have been …

Natural fiber reinforced polymer composites have emerged as a potential environmentally
friendly and cost-effective alternative to synthetic fiber reinforced composites. Therefore, in …

The fundamental mechanisms of solid lubrication are reviewed with examples from well-
known solid lubricants like the transition metal dichalcogenides and diamond-like carbon …

This handbook contains information based on the analysis of over 1,400 research papers,
mostly published from 1994 to 1997, and technical data received from over 160 …

In this article, a series of graphene oxide (GO)/ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene
(UHMWPE) composites are successfully fabricated through an optimized toluene-assisted …

Polyphenylene sulfide (PPS) is a type of thermoplastic polymer with high thermal and
mechanical performance that has wide applications in various industries, such as precise …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an important solid lubricant with an unusually high wear
rate. For a half-century, fillers have been used to reduce PTFE wear by> 100× with> 10 …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one of the most widely used solid lubricants but suffers
from a high wear rate which limits its applications. Here we report four orders of magnitude …

This study has been carried out to show the use of natural fibres as the potential substitute of
synthetic fibres in tribo-composites. The abrasive wear behaviour and mechanical properties …

The role of water in the tribochemical mechanisms of ultralow wear polytetrafluoroethylene
(PTFE) composites was investigated by studying 10 and 20 wt% polyether ether ketone …
