- Superlubricating Graphene and Graphene Oxide Films (ANL-IN-11-056)
The system includes graphene and graphene oxide formed by an exfoliation process or solution processing method to dispose graphene and/or graphene oxide onto a Substrate. The system further includes an opposing wear member disposed on another Substrate and a gas atmosphere of an inert gas like N2, ambient, a humid atmosphere and a water Solution.
Benefits
- Easy to apply using spray process in air
- Easily scalable to large area
- Cost effective, eliminates hazardous waste
- Virtually eliminates friction and wear
- Works in dry and humid environment
