Superlubricity, the state of ultralow friction between two sliding surfaces, has become a
frontier subject in tribology. Here, a state-of-the-art review of the phenomena and …

From our ordinary lives to various mechanical systems, friction and wear are often
unavoidable phenomena that are heavily responsible for excessive expenditures of …

Self-lubricating polymer composite coatings, with tailorable tribological and mechanical
properties, have been widely employed on mechanical parts to reduce friction and wear …

Abstract Two-dimensional (2D) layered materials such as graphene, hexagonal boron
nitride, molybdenum disulfide and alike possess unique frictional properties, making them …

In recent years, attempts to improve the mechanical properties of composites have
increased remarkably owing to the inadequate utilization of matrices in demanding …

As a novel two-dimensional material, violet phosphorus (VP) has attracted a considerable
amount of attention due to its high carrier mobility, anisotropy, wide band gap, stability, and …

Friction and wear are the main reasons for decreasing the lifetime of moving mechanical
components and causing energy loss. It is desirable to achieve macroscale superlubricity on …

Superlubricating materials can greatly reduce the energy consumed and economic losses
by unnecessary friction. However, a long pre-running-in period is indispensable for …

Two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterial lubricants have received increasing attention as mild
and environmentally friendly friction and wear moderators because they can act as …

The mechanical components' friction and wear are the main factors to reduce the lifetime
and cause the energy loss of machine. In this work, the alkyl-functionalized black …
