Journal ArticleDOI
Carbon Nanostructure Examined by Lattice Fringe Analysis of High-Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy Images
TL;DR: A demonstration of the robustness of a fringe image analysis code for determining the level of graphitic structure within nanoscale carbon, i.e., soot, based upon transmission electron microscopy images is provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solid lubrication by multiwalled carbon nanotubes in air and in vacuum
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated aligned and dispersed multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) for solid lubrication applications and found that MWNTs have superior friction properties and sustainability in air and vacuum.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sliding wear and fretting wear of diamondlike carbon-based, functionally graded nanocomposite coatings
Kazuhisa Miyoshi,B. Pohlchuck,Kenneth W. Street,Jeffrey S. Zabinski,J.H. Sanders,Andrey A. Voevodin,R. L. C. Wu +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a diamond-like carbon (DLC) nanocomposite was applied to an AISI 440C disk in sliding contact with a 6mm diameter stainless steel ball in ultrahigh vacuum, in dry nitrogen, and in humid air.
Journal ArticleDOI
Friction properties of surface-fluorinated carbon nanotubes
R. L. Vander Wal,Kazuhisa Miyoshi,Kenneth W. Street,Aaron J. Tomasek,Haiqing Peng,Yu Liu,J. L. Margrave,Valery N. Khabashesku +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a direct fluorination of the graphene-built tubular (single-walled carbon nanotubes) structures has been carried out to obtain a series of fluorinated nanophubes (fluoronanotubes), with variable C(n)F (n = 2-20) stoichiometries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the tribological behavior of nano-onions in Krytox 143AB
TL;DR: In this paper, the use of carbon nano-onions, i.e., nanoparticles, as a potential additive in an oil for aerospace application has been presented, and the lifetimes were tested in ambient air and ultrahigh vacuum.
