Kinetic friction is a physical phenomenon which originates when two or more bodies are in
contact and in relative motion, and causes energy consumption and wear. Lubricants are …

Starch-based emulsion microgel particles with different starch (15 and 20 wt%) and oil
contents (0–15 wt%) were synthesized, and their lubrication performance under …

Micro-scale hydrogel particles, known as microgels, are used in industry to control the
rheology of numerous different products, and are also used in experimental research to …

Water swellable crosslinked polymers are widely used in oil-in-water emulsions for the
healthcare and cosmetic industries due to their thickening properties. In this study, we …

Group C particles have gradually become more desirable in the industry in recent years
because of their special characteristics such as large specific surface area and small size …

We present a novel type of layer-by-layer (LbL) waterborne coating based on Nafion and
amine-terminated graphene oxide (GO–NH2) that inhibits the growth of Escherichia coli and …

We investigate the lubrication of microsphere suspensions between compliant substrates,
and probe the influence of matrix viscosity, particle phase volume, surface roughness and …

Abstract Model non-Newtonian fluids are used to determine the influence of fluid rheology
on friction between viscoelastic substrates. We uniquely designed two groups of fluids to be …

We study how varying the mixing ratio of base and curing agent for polydimethylsiloxane
(PDMS) affect the consistency of tribological data using a newly developed soft-contact ball …

Exploration of in vitro cell behavior in 3D space has revealed that cell morphology, cell
generated forces, and the architecture of the intracellular mechanical machinery differ from …
