Abstract Monodisperse Cu nanoparticles@ MoS 2 nanosheets were prepared via a facile in-
situ reduction method. The anchored Cu nanoparticles with average diameters of 8–13 nm …

A simple wet chemical reduction method was developed to prepare in situ growth of Cu
nanoparticles (NPs) decorated on polydopamine (PDA) functionalized graphene oxide (GO) …

High temperature is one of the most basic challenges faced by copper-based brake pads in
emergency braking of high-speed railway train. Here, a novel copper-based brake pad was …

Improvement of wear resistance and mechanical performance of rails used in heavy-haul
railway are essential to reduce railroad maintenance costs. A novel heat treatment based on …

In order to simulate the fade behaviour of friction between copper-based brake pads and
brake disc during emergency braking of high-speed railway train, accelerated fade …

Commercial high-speed train friction blocks with a hole in the middle of the surface and
perforated blocks filled with additive materials are introduced in drag brake experiments …

Tribological behavior of copper–graphite powder third body on copper-based friction
materials was investigated by adding different percentage copper–graphite mixed powder …

Copper, magnetite and graphite particles were mixed in order to observe their impact on the
coefficient of friction (CoF) during pin-on-disc tests and on the tribofilm formation after …

Six carbon materials, the widespread solid lubricant used in several applications, were
selected for this study. The morphological and structural features were investigated with the …

Nanomaterials stabilization in lube oils poses an acute challenge in nanolubricants/
nanofluids formulation. This study aims to improve the dispersion stability of copper (Cu) …
