Ab Initio Analysis of Carbon Film Lubricity

16.05.2016 Dr. Aydar Akchurin 236 Views

Carbon-based nanomaterials, coatings and films attracted a great attention due to proved possibility to achieve lowest friction and wear without environmental pollution. However, frequently, the state of the low friction is strictly related to the […]
