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

During the past two decades, diamond-like carbon (DLC) films have attracted an
overwhelming interest from both industry and the research community. These films offer a …

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 …

Fundamental phenomena governing the tribological mechanisms in sputter deposited
amorphous MoS2/Sb2O3/Au nanocomposite coatings are reported. In dry environments the …

Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to
provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature …

This paper describes the synthesis, structure, and tribological behavior of nanocomposite
tungsten disulphide (WS2) solid lubricant films grown by atomic layer deposition. A new …

We report on the structural evolution and low-friction behaviour of silicon (Si) doped
amorphous carbon (aC) films. Si-doped aC films were fabricated by controlling the …

The literature on protective tribological coatings often focuses on correlations with
measurable coating properties (composition, structure, and mechanical) but ignores the …

The superlubrictiy behavior and mechanism of diamond-like carbon (DLC) film in vacuum
were researched under rotating and reciprocating motion. Compared with the reciprocating …

In this study, the superlubricity stability of hydrogenated diamond-like carbon (H-DLC) film in
vacuum was investigated by varying the sliding velocity (30–700 mm/s). The relatively stable …
