Abnormal tribological behavior of multiwalled nanotube rafts part I: Aligned rafts

Article Abstract:

The possibility of abnormal tribological behavior for two surfaces coated with aligned multiwalled nanotube rafts is examined. A detachment work declining with the contacting pressure is exhibited by the aligned multiwalled nanotube rafts while the frictional force declined with the increase in normal pressure.

A finite-temperature continuum theory based on interatomic potentials

Article Abstract:

A finite-temperature continuum theory is developed on the basis of interatomic potentials. The local harmonic approximation relating the entropy to the vibration frequencies of the system accounts for the effect of finite temperature.

Abnormal tribological behavior of multiwalled nanotube rafts part II: Inclined rafts

Article Abstract:

The frictional forces for regularly and randomly inclined multiwall carbon nanotube rafts are examined. The persistence of abnormal tribological behavior is observed for both inclined and randomly oriented rafts.
