Characterisation and optimization of DLC composite materials for realistic engineering environments
Start a new DMP in Loading
Creating composite materials that have low friction and wear in realistic engineering environments. This project will focus on the nanoscale effects towards low friction and wear, which will then scale up to macroscale environments. The first objective will be to look at a specific area where friction and wear are high and then look at what current options are available to reduce this and see why the latest research hasn't been effectively scaled up to be used. The application will primarily be focused on the automotive industry where reduction in friction and wear will have a noticeable effect on reduction in pollution and also increase fuel efficiency.
