A nanometric cushion for enhancing scratch and wear resistance of hard films
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2014, 5, 1005–1015, doi:10.3762/bjnano.5.114
- element analysis; hard coating; scanning probe microscopy; scratch; thin films; tribology; Introduction Polymers are versatile materials within an extraordinary range of properties. In many tribological applications, they are often preferred relative to metal alternatives [1][2][3]. However, their
Direct observation of microcavitation in underwater adhesion of mushroom-shaped adhesive microstructure

Probing three-dimensional surface force fields with atomic resolution: Measurement strategies, limitations, and artifact reduction
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2012, 3, 637–650, doi:10.3762/bjnano.3.73
- fields, including catalysis, thin-film growth, nanoscale device fabrication, and tribology, among others [1]. Shortly after the first atomic-resolution images of surfaces were obtained by noncontact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM) [2][3], the method of dynamic force spectroscopy (DFS) was introduced
Switching adhesion forces by crossing the metal–insulator transition in Magnéli-type vanadium oxide crystals
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2011, 2, 59–65, doi:10.3762/bjnano.2.8
- applications where switching of adhesion or friction is desired, such as intelligent devices or coatings. At the nanoscale, these adhesion measurements displayed a lower adhesion force in the metallic state than in the non-metallic, ceramic state, which is in contrast to the macroscopic experience in tribology
Review of "Contact Mechanics and Friction: Physical Principles and Applications" by Valentin L. Popov

- science; structural mechanics; system dynamics; tribology; Popov, V. L. Contact Mechanics and Friction: Physical Principles and Applications, 1st ed. Springer-Verlag: Berlin, Heidelberg, 2010. XV, 362 pages, ISBN 978-3-642-10802-0 (Print), 978-3-642-10803-7 (Online). doi:10.1007/978-3-642-10803-7 The
- the author and which repeatedly finds its way into numerous examples and problems is the tribology of biological objects. Since Popov knows biological and biomimetic systems from his own collaborative research with biologists [1][2][3], the book is not only an excellent starting point for engineers
- , engineering, tribology, materials science and some examples from biology. Because of its rigorous mathematical approach, it provides a first-class introduction to the principles of contact mechanics and tribology for specialists from different fields. However, it also contains many qualitative descriptions
Sensing surface PEGylation with microcantilevers
Beilstein J. Nanotechnol. 2010, 1, 3–13, doi:10.3762/bjnano.1.2
- interfacial processes. Their sensitivity to solvent conditions and ability to undergo conformational transitions makes polymers attractive in tailoring surface properties with specific functionalities leading to applications in diverse areas ranging from tribology to colloidal stability and medicine.
