Argonne Embraces Concept of "in operando" Formation of Carbon-based Tribofilms

23.08.2016 Rick Shankman 477 Views

Earlier this month, tribologists and physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory published news of their (self-described) “self-healing diamond-like carbon coating [that] could revolutionize lubrication” in the journal Nature.  The researchers […]

Switchable Friction on Graphene

15.08.2016 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 271 Views

Graphene is a unique material in many aspects and has recently been applied in various ways. In tribology, it has been shown to lead to a superlubricity – an ultra low friction state. In laboratory […]

Adhesive Wear Particles Generation: by Fracture or Atom-by-Atom?

01.08.2016 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 579 Views

The most famous equation to predict wear known probably to everyone working in the field of tribology  is Archard’s model (1953). The model assumes that wear occurs through the fracture of plastically deformed material and […]
