The reach of tribology has expanded in diverse fields and tribology related research
activities have seen immense growth during the last decade. This review takes stock of the …

The rapid development of aerospace industry has made more and more machinery parts of
equipment working at high temperature. Due to the lubrication failure of lubricating oil and …

To improve the thermal stability and mechanical performances of the DLC coating at high
temperature, thermodynamically stable Si-N and CN bonds were introduced into the DLC …

Understanding atomic-scale wear is crucial to avoid device failure. Atomic-scale wear differs
from macroscale wear because chemical reactions and interactions at the friction interface …

Whether a graphitization mechanism can control the low-friction behavior of DLC films is still
controversial. In this paper, we establish the molecular dynamics model of the DLC film with …

Ultraflat and damage-free single-crystal diamond is a promising material for use in electronic
devices such as field-effect transistors. Diamond surfaces are conventionally prepared by …

In this paper, ReaxFF molecular dynamics simulations were used to look at how load and
the number of nitrogen molecules affect how friction behavior in hydrogen-free diamond-like …

This study investigates the influence of water lubrication on the friction of DLC films. It is
found that water molecules at contact interfaces prevent the formation of interfacial C–C …

Graphene exhibits great potential as a lubricant additive to enhance the antifriction capacity
of moving mechanical components in synergism with amorphous carbon (aC) as a solid …

Space solid lubricants should undergo serious tests, such as high pressure, high vacuum,
strong radiations and so on. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films show potential applications in …
