Effects of Carbon Nanoparticles on Triboelectro‐Induced Surface Defects
Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.Carbon nanoparticles added to grease modify the electrocontact behavior. The synergy of particle concentration and electric current dominates the surface damage of metals in contact. Electrical surface damage caused by current leakage is a critical challenge in high‐performance applications such as electric vehicle (EV) drivetrains and wind turbine ...
