  2. 21. Nanoparticle assisted tribofilm formation and material transfer studied with SEM and TEM

    Author : István Zoltán Jenei; Stefan Csillag; Urban Wiklund; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; WS2 inorganic fullerene-like nanoparticles; lubrication; tribofilm; SEM; TEM; EELS; EDS; coating; surface analysis; friction; wear; titanium; material transfer; fysik; Physics;

    Abstract : The discovery and subsequent synthesis of metal containing fullerenes- IFS (Inorganic Fullerene-like Structures) by R. Tenne et al. has generated considerable scientific interest with great potential impact in many industrial application areas such as lubrication. READ MORE

  4. 22. A Surface Engineering Approach to Reduction of Frictional Losses of Heavy Duty Diesel Engines

    Author : Staffan Johansson; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Cylinder Liner; Tribometer; Wear; Diesel Engine; Lubrication; Design of Experiments; Rig testing; Friction; Piston Ring; Oil consumption;

    Abstract : Reducing emissions is a top priority within heavy duty diesel engine development and research. The aim of the work is to decrease the fuel consumption by decreasing frictional losses of the Power Cylinder Unit.Full scale testing of engine components improvements is time-consuming and costly.

  5. 23. Investigating mucin interactions with diverse surfaces for biomedical applications

    Author : Georgia Petrou; Thomas Crouzier; Anette Larsson; KTH; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; mucus; mucin; protein adsorption; biomaterials; lubrication; mucoadhesion; 4RepCT; Bioteknologi; Biotechnology;

    Abstract : Mucous membranes are covered with mucus, a viscoelastic hydrogel that plays an essential role in their protection from shear and pathogens. The viscoelasticity of mucus is owing to mucins, a group of densely glycosylated proteins. READ MORE

  6. 24. Design, testing and analysis of journal bearings for construction equipment

    Author : Henrik Strand; Sören Andersson; Arto Lehtovaara; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Contact Mechanics; Finite Element; Grease; Journal Bearing; Lubrication; Replica Technique; Test Apparatus; Tribology; Wear; Mechanical manufacturing engineering; Mekanisk tillverkningsteknik;

    Abstract : Grease-lubricated journal bearings present a common challenge for construction equipment manufacturers in the world. The common design methodology is based on empirical data and has worked very well historically because the market and governments have accepted that bearings in construction equipment need frequent lubrication and exchange of worn parts.
