Among many separation membranes reported to date, the favorable polymer affinity and
unique physio-chemical performances of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) including ultra …

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 …

Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

Structural superlubricity, a state of ultralow friction and wear between crystalline surfaces, is
a fundamental phenomenon in modern tribology that defines a new approach to lubrication …

Controlling friction and reducing wear of moving mechanical systems is important in many
applications, from nanoscale electromechanical systems to large-scale car engines and …

Structural superlubricity is a fascinating tribological phenomenon, in which the lateral
interactions between two incommensurate contacting surfaces are effectively cancelled …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) materials are crystalline materials made of a single or a few
layers of atoms. They have been an active research subject in recent years because of their …

Two-dimensional materials having a layered structure comprise a monolayer or multilayers
of atomic thickness and ultra-low shear strength. Their high specific surface area, in-plane …

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are one of the strongest known materials. When assembled into
fibres, however, their strength becomes impaired by defects, impurities, random orientations …

Over the past two decades, carbon nanomaterials have attracted great interest for their
confirmed friction and wear performances as well as important tribological applications. This …
