Friction and wear usually lead to huge energy loss and failure of machine pairs, which
usually causes great economic losses. Researchers have made great efforts to reduce …

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

Current greenhouse gas emissions suggest that keeping global temperature increase below
1.5 degrees, as espoused in the Paris Agreements will be challenging, and to do so, the …

Reducing friction and increasing lubrication are the goals that every tribologist pursues.
Accordingly, layered graphene materials have attracted great research interest in tribology …

Newly emerging two-dimensional (2D) materials of MXenes possess lots of merits, which
provide potential solutions for the lubrication issues in harsh conditions. Here, preliminary …

Friction and wear remain the primary modes for energy dissipation in moving mechanical
components. Superlubricity is highly desirable for energy saving and environmental …

In order to further improve the tribological performance of glass fiber reinforced epoxy
(GF/EP) composites, highly flexible, binder‐free, molybdenum trioxide MoO3 …

The poor dispersibility, strong interlayer interaction, and inferior crack resistance ability
restrict the employment of graphene as a lubricant additive. Herein, we prepared fluorinated …

In this work, we designed three series of tribo-couples based on amorphous carbon films
including GLC, DLC and PLC that were modified by graphene quantum dots (GQDs). The …

The present study investigates the effect of processing method on the tribological behavior
of 3D-printed Polylactic acid (PLA)/graphene composite samples. Two different methods …
