Robust microscale structural superlubricity between graphite and nanostructured surface

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Structural superlubricity is a state of nearly zero friction and no wear between two contacted solid surfaces. However, such state has a certain probability of failure due to the edge defects of graphite flake.

A Hybrid Two-Axis Force Sensor for the Mesoscopic Structural Superlubricity Studies

open access: yesSensors, 2019
Structural superlubricity (SSL) is a state of nearly zero friction and zero wear between two directly contacted solid surfaces. Recently, SSL was achieved in mesoscale and thus opened the SSL technology which promises great applications in Micro ...

Fibrous scaffold with a tunable nonlinear elasticity

open access: yesPolymer Testing, 2021
Micro/nanofibers have been widely applied to mimic the fibrillary structure of collagen type I from a bionic point of view, however, the wavy structure of collagen fibers in biological tissues such as arteries and ligaments has hardly been fabricated. In

Effect of nanostructuration on compressibility of cubic BN [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Compressibility of high-purity nanostructured cBN has been studied under quasi-hydrostatic conditions at 300 K up to 35 GPa using diamond anvil cell and angle-dispersive synchrotron X-ray powder diffraction.
