This review article summarizes the progress of research on carbon nanomaterial-based
lubricants witnessed in recent years. Carbon nanomaterials, such as graphene, carbon …

A plethora of two-dimensional (2D) materials have been introduced in physics and
engineering in the past two decades. Their robust, membranelike sheets permit (mostly …

Abstract Development of solid lubricant materials that render reliable performance in
ambient conditions, are amenable to industrial size and design complexities, and work on …

Sliding electrical contacts are commonly applied in electrical connectors, such as conductive
slip rings, pantographs, switches, and commutators. However, they suffer from several …

Graphene is a useful solid lubricant for flexible micro/nanoelectromechanical systems
(MEMS/NEMS) because of its beneficial mechanical properties. However, understanding the …

Intrinsic friction and corrosion issues of light alloys impede their application in tribological
and corrosive environments, thus a proper ceramic coating is normally required to overcome …

A simple and effective method is used to construct graphene coating on brass surface, and
the effect of electric currents on tribological performances are studied. Results show that …

The tribological behaviour of diamond-like carbon (DLC) and graphene nanoplatelets (GNP)
nanocomposite has not been previously explored in a lubricated environment, with some …

Wind power is considered as a sustainable and environmentally friendly energy source.
However, the occurrence of icing poses significant challenges to energy production …

Solution-processed few-layer graphene flakes, dispensed to rotating and sliding contacts via
liquid dispersions, are gaining increasing attention as friction modifiers to achieve low …
