Macroscopic friction is the result of the interplay of several processes occurring at different
scales; an atom-scale description of the tribological interactions is then paramount for the …

In this paper, we review the results on the tribological behavior of nanocomposite coatings
composed of nanoplatelets of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMD) immersed in a C-rich …

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

This study describes the synthesis, structure and friction behavior of titanium doped tungsten
disulphide (Ti-WS2) nanocomposite solid lubricant thin films grown by cosputtering at room …

The pure MoS 2 coating always performs high friction coefficient and short service life when
used in high humidity or after long-time storage in humid atmospheric environment. In this …

MoS 2/aC: Si composite films doped with different contents of carbon (C) and silicon (Si)
were deposited using a hybrid deposition system consisting of a superimposed high-power …

Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are easily oxidized in the marine atmosphere
environment, which results in a sharp deterioration of lubricity and limits its application …

Plasma-sprayed ceramic self-lubricating coatings are limited in their practical applications
due to the degradation of mechanical properties caused by tribological design. Herein, a …

The high-throughput preparation of MoS 2-(Cr, Nb, Ti, Al, V) composite coatings was
achieved by multi-targets co-sputtering method. Based on the obtained friction coefficient of …

The lubrication of molybdenum disulfide coatings has commonly been limited by the
application environments, for instance, the crystal MoS 2 are easily affected by water to form …
