Calculations of the impact of friction and wear on energy consumption, economic
expenditure, and CO 2 emissions are presented on a global scale. This impact study covers …

Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) is one of the most broadly utilized solid lubricants with a wide
range of applications, including but not limited to those in the aerospace/space industry …

We present an overview of the main techniques for production and processing of graphene
and related materials (GRMs), as well as the key characterization procedures. We adopt …

Friction is a phenomenon that exists extensively in nature and industry; it has proven
necessary in daily life and beneficial in energy scavenging but is also alleged to be the main …

Since the first successful synthesis of graphene just over a decade ago, a variety of two-
dimensional (2D) materials (eg, transition metal-dichalcogenides, hexagonal boron-nitride …

Reducing energy consumption and CO 2 emissions by improving the tribological
performance of mechanical systems relies on the development of new lubrication concepts …

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 …

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 …

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 …
