Since their initial discovery, Diamond Like Carbon films have enjoyed an overwhelming
interest from both the scientific and industrial community. This book highlights some of the …

Whether an airplane or a space shuttle, a flying machine requires advanced materials to
provide a strong, lightweight body and a powerful engine that functions at high temperature …

Doped or alloyed diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings is an important category of DLC
characterized by the incorporation of different elements in their struc-ture to achieve …

In the present work, we show that the superlubricity can be achieved when the polyhydroxy
alcohol solutions are mixed with acid solutions. The lowest friction coefficients between …

Friction and wear result in a great amount of energy loss and the invalidation of mechanical
parts, thus it is necessary to minimize friction in practical application. In this study, the …

In the present work, we show that the liquid superlubricity (μ< 0.01) of water-based
lubricants can be achieved between sapphire/sapphire even when the average contact …

In this paper, nanodiamonds glycerol colloidal solution is investigated as a lubricant
between steel ball and disk, and it is compared with glycerol solution. Although stable …

This work reports the employment of metallic nanoparticles (palladium and gold) with a
mean particle size of 2.2 nm surface-protected with tetraalkylammonium and alkanethiolate …

Authored by leading experts from around the world, the three-volume Handbook of
Nanostructured Thin Films and Coatings gives scientific researchers and product engineers …

The effect of humidity on the lubrication property of glycerol solution between steel surfaces
has been investigated in this paper. A stable superlubricity with a friction coefficient about …
