Abstract Around 1,000 peer-reviewed papers were selected from 3,450 articles published
during 2020–2021, and reviewed as the representative advances in tribology research …

The tribochemistry and transfer film formation at the metal/polymer interface plays an
essential role in surface protection, wear reduction, and lubrication. Although the topic has …

Lubrication of polymeric materials generally involves processes of atomic-scale chemical
bond forming/breaking at the interface and mesoscale chain reorientation, disentanglement …

Although microcapsules can remarkably diminish the friction coefficient and wear rate of the
composites, most of the superior tribological properties are achieved under small contact …

Behaviour of materials is governed by physical phenomena that occur at an extreme range
of length and time scales. Computational modelling requires multiscale approaches …

While a rolling element bearing is operating, the lubricating film is desired to maintain a
sufficient thickness to avoid asperity contact between surfaces. When using grease as …

A profound comprehension of friction and wear mechanisms is essential for the design and
development of high-performance polymeric materials for tribological application. However …

We present a nonreactive force field for molecular dynamics simulations of interfaces
between amorphous carbon surfaces and their interaction with water. The force field is …

Polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE (Teflon)] is a uniquely slippery polymer, with a coefficient of
friction that is an order of magnitude lower than that of other polymers. Though known as …

In order to improve the lubrication performance of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) coating.
Modified graphene (RGO) was prepared by Hummers method and ion modification method …
