Toward Macroscale Superlubricity with 2D Materials

Toward Macroscale Superlubricity with 2D Materials

Friction and wear-related failures remain the greatest problems in today’s moving mechanical components, from microelectromechanical devices to automotive assemblies and to biological systems. The critical need to reduce and eliminate the tribological failures...
Surface Engineering: stories behind the scenes

Surface Engineering: stories behind the scenes

As an enabling technology, surface engineering affects almost every product around us by making them to be more long lasting, functional and productive. Despite the numerous positive benefits of our technology, far too little is sometimes known in our society about...
Challenges in high-temperature nanomechanics

Challenges in high-temperature nanomechanics

Many applications of coatings and bulk materials in the aerospace, nuclear, fuel cell and cutting tool industries involve high temperatures. Accurate nanomechanical data can improve our understanding of the link between the small-scale mechanical behaviour and the...
Adaptive surfaces for friction and wear reduction

Adaptive surfaces for friction and wear reduction

Adaptive low friction and wear resistant coatings, which can re-arrange their structure and chemistry in a response to changes in operating environment are of a practical importance for aerospace, automotive and tool industry. In this webinar, surface engineering...
Digitalised Surface Manufacturing

Digitalised Surface Manufacturing

Coatings are key to the performance of most products and they contribute to sustainability by enhancing the efficiency and extending the life of the products that they protect, as well as by enabling the reduced use of scarce bulk materials. Therefore, coatings are a...
