In-situ Analysis of the Evolution of Surfaces and Interfaces under Applied Coupled Stresses

Description: To study the effect of the substrate support on the nanoscale contact, three different regimes, i.e., graphene on rigid (ultra-crystalline diamond) and on elastic (Polydimethylsiloxane) supports and free-standing graphene, were considered. The contribution of the graphene support to the mechanical and electrical characteristics of the graphene/metal contact was studied using the conductive atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique.The results revealed that the electrical conductivity of the graph… more

Tribo-Corrosion of High Entropy Alloys

Description: In this dissertation, tribo-corrosion behavior of several single-phase and multi-phase high entropy alloys were investigated. Tribo-corrosion of body centered cubic MoNbTaTiZr high entropy alloy in simulated physiological environment showed very low friction coefficient (~ 0.04), low wear rate (~ 10-8 mm3/Nm), body-temperature assisted passivation, and excellent biocompatibility with respect to stem cells and bone forming osteoblast cells. Tribo-corrosion resistance was evaluated for additively… more
