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 …

Graphene-family materials, as a great discovery of this era, have become one of the most
popular materials. Scientists have kept on studying the possibilities of using graphene-family …

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 …

Graphite and other lamellar materials are used as dry lubricants for macroscale metallic
sliding components and high-pressure contacts. It has been shown experimentally that …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron
nitride, molybdenum disulfide and alike possess unique frictional properties, making them …

This paper reviews the application of molecular dynamics simulations on mechanical and
tribological properties of polymer composites reinforced by carbon nanotubes and graphene …

We report an improved synthesis of colloidal gold nanorods (NRs) by using aromatic
additives that reduce the concentration of hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide surfactant …

This review focuses on recent developments in the use of 2D nanomaterials for controlling
the frictional properties of surfaces and interfaces. While materials such as MoS 2 and …

This paper aims to provide a theoretical and experimental understanding of the importance
of novel 2D materials in solid-film lubrication, along with modulating strategies adopted so …

Abstract 2D materials such as graphene, MoS2, and hexagonal BN are the most advanced
solid lubricating materials with superior friction and anti‐wear performance. However, as a …
