This study provides a review of recent progress on designs, properties, and mechanisms of
surface texturing and solid lubricants. Firstly, the design and processing of surface texture …

Since the discovery of the self-cleaning properties of the lotus effect, the wetting of surfaces
were intensively investigated due to their potential application in many industrial sectors …

The wear and friction behavior of ultralow wear polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)/α-alumina
composites first described by Burris and Sawyer in 2006 has been heavily studied, but the …

The maturation of nanotechnology has revealed it to be a unique and distinct discipline
rather than a specialization within a larger field. Its textbook cannot afford to be a chemistry …

This new edition of a bestseller incorporates recent developments and advances in
thermoplastics with regard to materials development, processing, properties, and …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is an important solid lubricant with an unusually high wear
rate. For a half-century, fillers have been used to reduce PTFE wear by> 100× with> 10 …

Polymer nanocomposites are polymer matrix composites in which the fillers are less than
100 nm in at least one dimension. These composites have exhibited extraordinarily …

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is one of the most widely used solid lubricants but suffers
from a high wear rate which limits its applications. Here we report four orders of magnitude …

Abstract Despite two-dimensional (2D) layered MoS 2 and newly emerging lamellar MXene
providing great potential in lubricity, the mechanical and tribological performance of their …

Polymer nanocomposites operate in applications where fluid and grease lubricants fail, and
have superior tribological performance to traditional polymer composites. Nanoparticle fillers …
