The mechanical properties of natural joints are considered unrivalled. Cartilage is coated with a special polymer layer allowing joints to move virtually friction-free, even under high pressure. Using ...
The concepts of friction and wear are easy to understand, yet they can interrelate in complex ways within a tribological system (science concerned with interacting surfaces in relative motion ...
Researchers have succeeded in synthesizing the longest ever bottlebrush polymer. This polymer -- resembling a green foxtail -- is composed of a main chain and numerous side chains grafting from it.
NIMS and RIKEN have succeeded in synthesizing the longest ever bottlebrush polymer. This polymer--resembling a green foxtail--is composed of a main chain and numerous side chains grafting from it. The ...
Fig. 3: These conveyor belt rollers experience rolling contact fatigue during operation. Including plastic components in machinery systems that experience friction and wear results in a number of ...
Despite the reputation of polymers used with FDM 3D printing like nylon, ABS, and PLA as being generally indestructible, they do come with a whole range of moisture-related issues that can affect both ...

Lubricants are required wherever moving parts come together. They prevent direct contact between solid elements and ensure that gears, bearings, and valves work as smoothly as possible. Depending on ...
