Open AccessMacro-superlubricity in sputtered MoS2-based films by decreasing edge pinning effect
To date, MoS2 can only be achieved at microscale. Edge pinning effect caused by structure defects is the most obvious barrier to expand the size of structural superlubricity to macroscale. Herein, we plan to pin ...

Influence of gamma irradiation-induced surface oxidation on tribological property of polyetheretherketone (PEEK)
In this paper, the semicrystalline PEEK was irradiated in the atmosphere by gamma rays with a dose up to 20 MGy. The influence of the surface degradation and the internal structural changes on the tribological...

Effect of tetraalkylphosphonium based ionic liquids as lubricants on the tribological performance of a steel-on-steel system
A series of asymmetrical tetraalkylphosphonium ionic liquids were synthesized and evaluated as a new kind of lubricant for the contact of steel/steel using an Optimol SRV oscillating friction and wear tester i...
