The origins of run-in and ultralow friction states of a sliding contact of hydrogenated diamond- like carbon (H-DLC) and sapphire were studied with an in situ Raman tribometer as well as …
An instrument has been developed that allows in situ optical analysis and tribological measurements for contacts between solid bodies; an interferometric optical analysis can be …
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 …
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2) is well known for exceptional friction and wear properties in inert and high vacuum environments. However, these tribological properties degrade in …
Adaptive tribological coatings were recently developed as a new class of smart materials that were designed to adjust their surface chemical composition and structure as a function …
Abstract Molybdenum disulfide (MoS 2), a lamellar solid lubricant, is used extensively in space applications due to its exceptional performance in vacuum and inert environments …
Nanocomposite films that consist of niobium nitride with silver nanoinclusions were created using unbalanced magnetron sputtering to investigate their potential as adaptive, friction …
