Graphite is a widely used material in automotive and manufacturing industries. Because of its frictional resistance, good mechanical behavior and high temperature, It is used in applications like mechanical seals more specifically in gas face […]

Friction is inevitable but wear is controllable! This is the mantra used to develop any mechanical system, especially when they involve rotating and sliding parts. Machine lubrication works wonders in such systems, they help in […]

The push toward low powered, energy-saving devices has been a direction the electronics industry has always pursued. The switch to low powered LED lighting is a good example of this trend. Another avenue is the […]

Electricity is considered as a basic necessity for humans just like food, water and shelter. Ironically, if we think about it we need electricity to make food, water and shelter nowadays. In its early days, […]

The rate of flow of different types of fluids moving along pipes has critical ramifications when you consider physiological functions like the cardiovascular system. The speed of blood flow through the heart and its network […]

Nanofibers are tiny fibers with diameters measured in the nanometer range. They can be generated by a variety of methods, from various different polymers, therefore they can exhibit different physical properties with different application potentials. […]

Whatever humanity does today, it does it on a very large scale. And the consequences are large as well! In the automotive area, I was clearly aware of CO2 emissions and global warming issues. A […]

We rely on sharp blades in our daily lives for domestic purposes, medical use, the food and catering sector, agricultural and industrial applications and everything in between. There are no corners of our society that […]
