Scaling-up Superlubricity into Persistence
We aim to replicate superlubricity across length scales, transforming it from an atomic-scale lab curiosity to a manufacturing-scale technology that overcomes the severe friction of boundary lubrication
SSLiP seeks to integrate the principles of structural lubricity observed in two-dimensional (2D) materials with the disciplines of granular physics and tribochemistry. Through this interdisciplinary approach, SSLiP aims to overcome the constraints imposed by friction, facilitating the development of advanced lubrication technologies capable of improving machine performance, energy efficiency, and overall system reliability
