Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of nanocrystalline nickel produced by electrodeposition
TL;DR: In this article, the tensile test results of tensile testing at room temperature and −196°C are discussed in terms of dislocation generation and motion, showing that the strength and strain hardening rate increased as grain size was reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polymeric Nanocomposites for Tribological Applications
TL;DR: A review of the state of the art in polymeric nanocomposites tribology can be found in this article, where the authors highlight the need for more quantitative studies of the mechanisms of wear resistance in polytetrafluoroethylene matrix composites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex Dental Structure and Wear Biomechanics in Hadrosaurid Dinosaurs
Gregory M. Erickson,Brandon A. Krick,M. A. Hamilton,Gerald R. Bourne,Mark A. Norell,Erica T. Lilleodden,W. Gregory Sawyer +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that hadrosaurids broke from the primitive reptilian archetype and evolved a six-tissue dental composition that is among the most sophisticated known, three-dimensional wear models incorporating fossilized wear properties reveal how these tissues interacted for grinding and ecological specialization.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tunable Friction Behavior of Oriented Carbon Nanotube Films
Pamela L. Dickrell,Sunil K. Pal,Gerald R. Bourne,Chris Muratore,Andrey A. Voevodin,Pulickel M. Ajayan,Linda S. Schadler,Wallace Gregory Sawyer +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that measured friction coefficients of MWNT films are strong functions of surface chemistry and temperature, but are not dependent on the presence of water vapor, and that the origin of the temperature dependence arises from the interaction of the surface chemical groups on the nanotubes and rubbing counterface.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wear resistant solid lubricant coating made from PTFE and epoxy
N.L. McCook,David L. Burris,Gerald R. Bourne,Jason G. Steffens,J. R. Hanrahan,Wallace Gregory Sawyer +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a composite coating of polytetrafluoroethylene and epoxy was used to improve wear resistance and reduced friction coefficient on a pin-on-disk tribometer.
