Tribological performance of porous silicon hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces
Many studies have focused on surface texturing to control friction and wear in the past few decades. The underlying reasons for surface texturing effects under various contact situations remain a source of debate. The connection between surface roughness

Cavitation Morphology Study between Hemispherical Textured Rotating Friction Pairs
A non-direct contact rotary interface uses a viscous fluid as the lubricant working medium. Because the oil film friction coefficient formed is extremely small, so it has great application potential in sealing, fluid transmission, thermosolutal ...
