Nayan Dhakal (ESR4) and Irfan Nadeem (ESR1) have published their research findings in open access articles.

Nayan Dhakal published paper Impact of processing defects on microstructure, surface quality, and tribological performance in 3D printed polymers in the Journal of Materials Research and Technology (JMRT). This article explores the internal and surface defects arising from the processing conditions in polymer 3D printing. The findings of this work exhibit an interrelationship between the processing-induced defects and corresponding mechanical properties and tribological performance. The article is published open access and available online to download with the link https://lnkd.in/dj7Cvcta

Irfan Nadeem published paper Superior macro-scale tribological performance of steel contacts based on graphene quantum dots in aqueous glycerol in the journal Tribology International. This article explores the tribological performance of Graphene Quantum Dots in aqueous glycerol between steel/steel contact in a boundary lubrication regime. This work further compares the lubrication performance of Graphene Quantum Dots with other 2D graphitic materials. The work was carried out at the University of Ljubljana and University of Coimbra under the supervision of Prof. Mitjan Kalin and Prof. Albano Cavaleiro. We would also like to thank Prof. Janez Kovac and Matjaz Malok from Jozef Stefan Institute for the collaboration. The article is published open access and available online to download with the link https://lnkd.in/gxy-UbEw

The key academic groups of TRIBOS consortium are leading and world renown in their own field of Tribology and Surface engineering. They are very complementary from point of view of surfaces, lubricants and interfaces, as well as engineering component design. Thus, their involvement in a single programme enables integration of the whole range of tribology sub-areas required for successful application solutions.
