Hybrid Metal–Carbon Ink for Printed Stretchable Temperature Sensors

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
We prepare conductive inks for temperature sensing with silver flakes and carbon or graphite flakes in a silicone elastomer matrix. Silver dominates the temperature‐dependent conductivity, while the carbon filler network ensures the stability of the conductive pathways and retains function under strain.

Friction of Si3N4 Ball / Si3N4 Disk Sliding in Water with SiO2 Nano-particles

open access: yesTribology Online, 2006
Silica nano-particles that have the average diameter of 7 nm were added to water, and their effects on friction were studied for Si3N4 self-mated sliding couples by a ball-on-disk tribotester under boundary lubricated conditions. By adding 0.01 or 0.1 wt

Effect of Groove Structure on Lubrication Performance of Water-Lubricated Stern Tube Bearings

open access: yesLubricants, 2023
This study investigated the lubrication characteristics (i.e., the groove ratio and width) of water-lubricated stern tube bearings, based on the flexibility matrix method and lubrication theory.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

open access: yesAdvanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Frictional performance of surface-textured phenolic resin-impregnated graphite materials under water lubrication

open access: yesMaterials Research Express, 2023
The frictional performance between impregnated graphite materials and YG-8 cemented carbide is investigated on a self-developed rotating-type tribometer. The test configuration is a cemented carbide plate rotating against the graphite surface.

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

A study on fundamental water lubrication characteristics of flat thrust bearing with partial water-repellent regions

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2020
The water lubrication characteristic of partial water-repellent (slip) type flat thrust bearings was examined. In this bearing, water-repellent (slip) regions and hydrophilic (non-slip) regions were alternately arranged in the slip direction, and the ...

Silicone Phase Behavior Resolves the Softness–Surface Functionality Trade‐Off in Emerging Stretchable Electronics

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Ultrasoft silicone elastomers often sacrifice surface functionality for mechanical compliance. In Mold Star, low‐molecular‐weight species form a dispersed phase that weakens the network and passivates the surface. Solvent extraction removes this phase, unexpectedly improving both extensibility and metallization performance, enabling conductive ...

Bridging Polymer Brushes and Coatings Through Ultra‐Thick Growth by Surface‐Initiated Photoiniferter Polymerization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Surface‐initiated photoiniferter‐mediated polymerization (SI‐PIMP) enables the controlled growth of UHMW polymer brushes with multi‐micrometer thicknesses, bridging conventional brushes and bulk‐like coatings. UHMW brushes are synthesized through a controlled/living process; they provide low friction and enhanced wear resistance under aqueous ...

Exploring an alternative aqueous lubrication concept for biomedical applications: Hydration lubrication based on O/W emulsions combined with graphene oxide

open access: yesBiosurface and Biotribology, 2015
Water-based lubrication concepts are of high interest for applications that require friction and wear control in a bio-medical environment. In this work, a concept of aqueous lubrication is presented based on hydration of surface active polymers combined
