The emergence of nanotechnology and surface engineering techniques provides new
opportunities for designing self-lubricant coatings with enhanced properties. In recent years …

MoS 2 is commonly used as a lubricant in spacecraft applications, and it is necessary to
improve the vacuum tribological properties of MoS 2 films. Thus, in the current study, hard …

There is tremendous interest in the development of highly wear‐resistant coatings for
metallic materials to reduce energy loss and prolong service life. In this study, the authors …

Tungsten‑sulfur‑carbon coatings are coatings that have excellent lubrication capability, with
an ability to adapt to different operating environments. Their performance as a function of the …

A novel laser-based method for producing nanocomposite coatings consisting of a tungsten
