Past Webinars

High Temperature Tribology of TMD-Based Coatings

In webinar, Dr. Todor Vuchkov speaks about the tribological performance of TMD-based thin films at high temperature. The session addresses key challenges and opportunities in their design, preparation, and application across demanding environments.

2D MXenes – Tunable Mechanical and Tribological Properties

In this keynote talk, Prof. Dr. Rosenkranz introduces the synthesis of 2D MXenes thus presenting their tribological potential and remaining challenges.

Lessons learned from 2D Materials in Tribology

In this webinar, Prof. Dr. Carsten Gachot introduces different 2D Materials such as black phosphorous, MXenes and Transition Metal Carbo Chalcogenides and report on their tribological performance as solid lubricants.

MoS2 Lubricants Enabling the New Space Economy

Dr. Ashlie Martini discusses molybdenum disulphide as a solid lubricant for space applications, from the fundamentals of lubricating with solids to the current research challenges associated with this exciting material.

Electrifying Tribometry and Designing Tribotests

Dr. Mathias Woydt introduces the principles of conceptual design of tribotest in order to characterize the functional properties of friction, wear and extreme pressure as function of operating conditions (mapping) including the extension to electrical properties of fluids and tribofilms.

Does Size Matter in Tribochemistry?

Dr. Carlos Lorenzana discusses:

  • The complexity of correlations in engineering and scientific testing on brake pad materials.
  • The formation of transfer films on organic brake pads.
  • How tribochemistry happens also under the surface of the brake pad.
  • The influence of the size of tools and measurement equipment on friction and tribochemistry.
