The present study reviews tribology research on bulk polymers and coatings, employed in
several applications, including air-conditioning, refrigeration, and thrust pad bearings …

A better understanding of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) in biochar-augmented carbon-
negative cementitious materials can facilitate their potential applications. This study …

Graphite filled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and polyimide (PI) composites were tested
against tool steel under nominal contact pressure of 6.32 MPa and sliding speed of 1.91 m/s …

Polymers with self-lubricating properties have been employed in various applications as
bearing components and tribological surfaces, particularly where the use of liquid lubricant …

Extended reach drilling wells enable the reach of large areas of reservoir, and thus higher
oil & gas production. However, the friction force encountered between the drilling string and …

Additive manufacturing (AM) nickel-based superalloys have been demonstrated to equate or
exceed mechanical properties of cast and wrought counterparts but their tribological …

Thin polymeric coatings are excellent candidates for extreme dry sliding conditions, where
oil lubricants and greases are ineffective. Earlier research demonstrated that ATSP-based …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an ultra-high-performance polymer renowned for its
excellent wear resistance, making it widely used in tribological applications. However, its …

For components affected by vibration, fretting wear is one of the most common failure types.
In this work, the fretting behavior of ATSP-MoS 2 coating was investigated and analyzed in …

High-temperature ablation is a common failure phenomenon that limits the service life of the
transmission parts on heavy-duty machines used in heavy load, high temperature, high …
