Description

In this upcoming webinar, the presenter will delve into the remarkable progress made in the understanding and utilization of two-dimensional (2D) materials as a solid lubricants. These materials have been instrumental in achieving low wear and ultralow friction, including superlubricity even at the macroscale. Over the past decade, graphene and other 2D materials have been at the forefront of tribological studies due to their outstanding wear and friction performance in various tribosystems, as well as their combination with other nanomaterials. Of particular interest is the ability of 2D materials to act as a semiliquid and produce stable tribolayers with intricate tribochemistry. From a scientific and technological perspective, this feature is incredibly intriguing. The presenter will examine the role of tribochemistry at the micro/nanoscale interfaces and how it impacts tribological performance at the macroscale with a few demonstrated examples that we have worked on in collaboration with the industry. This sets the stage for further developments and the realization of oil-free solid lubricants in real-world applications, thus helping to make the case for achieving the decarbonization objective in the lubrication industry.
