Nanotribology, nanomechanics and nanomaterials characterization

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2007
Nanotribology and nanomechanics studies are needed to develop fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena on a small scale and to study interfacial phenomena in magnetic storage devices, nanotechnology and other applications.

Nanotribology: Nonlinear Mechanisms of Friction

2014
Friction with its related nonlinear dynamics is a vast interdisciplinary field, involving complex physical processes over a wide range of length and time scales. The accelerated progress in experimental and computational techniques, often leading to complex detailed dynamical patterns, has vigorously stimulated the search and implementation of ...

Nanotribology and the NSF

2003
Nanotribology has been an active field of research for well over a decade. In evolved in response to the search for better understanding of some of the many elusive tribological phenomena, such as friction and solid lubrication. It evolved rapidly, in constant step with the development of new instrument capabilities, which enabled closer and closer ...

Nanotribology and nanomechanics in nano/biotechnology

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2008
Owing to larger surface area in micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), surface forces such as adhesion, friction, and meniscus and viscous drag forces become large when compared with inertial and electromagnetic forces. There is a need to develop lubricants and identify lubrication methods that are suitable for MEMS/NEMS. For BioMEMS/BioNEMS,

Surface Forces Apparatus in Nanotribology

2007
The Surface Forces Apparatus (SFA) has proven to be an excellent tool for research in nanotribology. It allows the study of single or multiple asperity contacts lubricated or not. The normal load, the contact area and the sliding velocity between the surfaces can be controlled and unambiguously measured with higher accuracy than in any conventional ...

Nanotribology of Spiderman

2010
Spiders can produce cobwebs with high strength to density ratio and surprisingly display self-cleaning, strong and releasable adhesion (as geckos). Nanointerlocking, capillary and van der Waals forces, all potential adhesive mechanisms, were thus discussed, demonstrating the key role played by hierarchy to the design of super-hydrophobic, i.e.

Micro- and Nanotribology of Graphene

2014
Graphene is a two-dimensional layer of carbon atoms bound by covalent Open image in new window -bonds. It is the building block of graphite, in which the graphene layers are stacked and held together by van der Waals forces.

Nanotribology, Nanomechanics and Materials Characterization

2007
Nanotribology and nanomechanics studies are needed to develop a fundamental understanding of interfacial phenomena on a small scale, and to study interfacial phenomena in micro/nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS /NEMS ), magnetic storage devices, and many other applications. Friction and wear of lightly loaded micro/nanocomponents are highly dependent
