- This study carried out in collaboration with the University of Southampton, employs FFM and nanoscale contact mechanics models to quantitatively evaluate tribological properties of self-adaptive Tungsten-Sulphur-Carbon coatings. A novel method was employed to form ultrathin WS2 tribolayer and layer-by-layer wear mechanism was
identified in-situ using FFM, while demonstrating that carbon addition enhanced wear resistance without compromising friction. The evidence presented in this paper prompted a number of studies in bio-inspired artificially created self-assembled structures (Xue et al., Adv Mat 2020), as well as modified solid lubricants (Zhu et al., Surf Coat Technology 2021).
