Behavior of fullerene-like WS2 nanoparticles under severe contact conditions
Lev Rapoport,O. Nepomnyashchy,Igor Lapsker,A. Verdyan,A. Moshkovich,Yishay Feldman,Reshef Tenne +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the behavior of fuellerene-like WS2 (MoS2) nanoparticles under severe contact conditions and found that the outermost layers of the WS2 nanoparticles were preserved in the rough summits, fill the valleys, and the pores of the sintered alumina and thus limit the straight contact between the ceramic surfaces.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymer nanocomposites with fullerene-like solid lubricant
Lev Rapoport,Oleg Nepomnyashchy,A. Verdyan,Ronit Popovitz-Biro,Yuri Volovik,Baruth Ittah,Reshef Tenne +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the first attempt to fill polymers with hollow solid lubricant nanoparticles was made and it was found that application of the fullerene-like (IF) WS 2 or MoS 2 solid lubricants led to a considerable improvements in the tribological behavior of the nanocomposites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sedimentation of IF-WS2 aggregates and a reproducibility of the tribological data
A. Moshkovith,V. Perfiliev,A. Verdyan,Igor Lapsker,Ronit Popovitz-Biro,Reshef Tenne,Lev Rapoport +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of the mixing time of IF-WS2 nanomaterial in the oil on the size of the IF aggregates and their influence on the friction and wear was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction and wear of fullerene-like WS2 under severe contact conditions: friction of ceramic materials
Lev Rapoport,O. Nepomnyashchy,Igor Lapsker,A. Verdyan,Ya. M. Soifer,Ronit Popovitz-Biro,Reshef Tenne +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the behavior of inorganic fullerene-like (IF) WS2 nanoparticles in the interface of steel-on-steel pair has been analyzed and it was shown that originally when the gap between the contact surfaces is smaller than the size of the IF nanoparticles, there is no effect of the nanoparticles on the friction force.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grooves in scratch testing
TL;DR: For a number of polymers with a variety of chemical structures and different properties, the authors performed scratch-resistance tests and investigated the profiles of the grooves formed using a profilometer.
