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 […]

Formulating lubricants using water
30.08.2021 Nikhil Kunapareddy

‘Water’ being an abundant natural resource, can certainly be considered as a primary fluid in lubrication. As of now, most of the lubricants are petroleum-based because of their superior functionality compared to water-based lubricants(WBLs). Global […]

Atomistic Tribology
Achieving superlubricity with high temperature
09.08.2021 Nikhil Kunapareddy

Lubrication between two surfaces depends on their respective co-efficient of frictions, surface finishes and also the type of lubricant used, if there is any. It is known that the temperature at which these surfaces  are […]

    Illusion of static friction: Does it really exist?

    13.01.2021
    Static friction might be an illusion made by the rotation of kinetic friction, even though, since the time of Charles-Augustin de Coulomb (1736–1806), we have believed that there exist two types of solid friction. Nakano [...]
