Percolation in Static Seals
20.12.2021 Dr Francesc Pérez-Ràfols

It might seem weird to talk about percolation through static seals in a Tribological context. After all, they are static: there is no rubbing, no tribos. However, there is much to learn about percolation through […]

Amino acid based ‘green’ lubricants
13.12.2021 Nikhil Kunapareddy

It is estimated that about 30% of world’s primary energy is consumed by excessive friction every year and about 60% of machines fail or stop for maintenance due to frictional damage. Above that, 50% of […]
