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 …

Introducing hydration layers to hydrogel microspheres (HMs) by coating the surface with
liposomes can effectively reduce friction. However, the lubrication can be inactivated when …

Superlubricity has drawn substantial attention worldwide while the energy crisis is
challenging human beings. Hence, numerous endeavors are bestowed to design materials …

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 …

Superlubricity, a fantastic lubrication sate where friction or resistance to sliding nearly
vanishes, has become one of the most important approaches to combat friction-induced …

Medical catheters are highly susceptible to friction and infection when intervening or
implanting in the body, and to thrombosis when in contact with blood. Coating medical …

Lipid-based boundary layers formed on liposome-containing hydrogels can facilitate
lubrication. However, these boundary layers can be damaged by shear, resulting in …

Graphene has been recognized as an excellent lubrication material owing to its two-
dimensional structure and weak interlayer interactions. However, most extant works …

Water lubrication is indispensable for industrial domains, meaning that the tribological
behaviors of water are essential for practical applications and should be improved. Herein, a …
