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 […]
Have you ever tried to cross a small river by jumping from one emerging stone to another? I always try when I go on a walk! But I feel safer when these mossy/algae covered stones […]
Friction is a force rising between two surfaces when they move in opposite directions or when one moves over a stationary surface. The scale of the movement does not matter: from the movement of continental […]
With the last years’ rise of electric vehicles (EV), you may have thought that the future lubrication challenges for cars may not be challenging anymore. At least not as challenging as the ones that the […]
Tribology is largely concerned with understanding of the (friction) forces acting at the interface between objects moving against each other (Menezes et al., 2013). Over the recent years there has been significant progress in understanding […]
Health issues involving the fracture, deformation, and weakening of bones continue to be a complaint for many individuals. The issues can be simple, like a broken leg or arm, to more complicated and serious diseases. […]
Radiation is well known to cause an increase of corrosion in the materials it comes into contact with. The increase in the corrosion rate leads to machines and equipment becoming inefficient more quickly, and components […]
Friction is the force experienced when two surfaces slide, or try to slide, across each other. We are thankful for friction when we put our foot on the brake to stop the car, or when […]
