Investigation of the mechanisms for stable superlubricity of poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA) coatings affected by lubricant

open access: yesFriction, 2016
The stability of the tribological properties of polymer coatings is vital to ensure their long term use. The superlubricity of the poly(vinylphosphonic acid) (PVPA)-modified Ti6Al4V/polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) interface can be obtained when lubricated

Structural lubricity: Role of dimension and symmetry

open access: yes, 2003
When two chemically passivated solids are brought into contact, interfacial interactions between the solids compete with intrabulk elastic forces. The relative importance of these interactions, which are length-scale dependent, will be estimated using ...

Interlayer Registry Determines the Sliding Potential of Layered Metal Dichalcogenides: The case of 2H-MoS2

open access: yes, 2012
We provide a simple and intuitive explanation for the interlayer sliding energy landscape of metal dichalcogenides. Based on the recently introduced registry index (RI) concept, we define a purely geometrical parameter which quantifies the degree of ...

Fast diffusion of graphene flake on graphene layer

open access: yes, 2011
Diffusion of a graphene flake on a graphene layer is analyzed and a new diffusion mechanism is proposed for the system under consideration. According to this mechanism, rotational transition of the flake from commensurate to incommensurate states takes ...

Macroscale Superlubricity in Water-Based Systems on Electroless Ni–P Coatings via P-Content Optimization and Tribofilm Control

open access: yesLubricants
Electroless Ni–P coatings are widely used for corrosion and wear protection, yet their ability to deliver water-based superlubricity and the role of phosphorus content remain insufficiently understood. Here, electroless Ni–P coatings with four P contents

Ballistic nanofriction

open access: yes, 2010
Sliding parts in nanosystems such as Nano ElectroMechanical Systems (NEMS) and nanomotors, increasingly involve large speeds, and rotations as well as translations of the moving surfaces; yet, the physics of high speed nanoscale friction is so far ...
