Carbon nanotubes are highly versatile materials; new applications using them are continuously being developed. Special attention is being dedicated to the possible use of multiwalled carbon nanotubes in biomaterials contacting with bone. However, carbon nanotubes are also controversial in regards to effects exerted on living organisms. Carbon nanotubes can be used to improve the tribological properties of polym...
Textile composites have been used for various applications because of their enhanced strength/weight ratio and versatile properties compared to other materials such asmetals. Many studies have investigated the tribological behaviour of textilecomposites, but none have focused onthe tribological characterization of 3D multilayeredwoven reinforced textile composites. Five types of 3-plywoven interlocked structure...
Prova Tipográfica (In Press) ; Recently, tribocorrosion is widely accepted as an interdisciplinary area of research and such studies on various materials are gaining more attention by scientists and engineers due to its practical and economical significances in a wide range of applications. The main objective of the present work were to investigate the tribocorrosion behaviour of single layered titanium oxycar...
The area of micro-abrasion is an interesting and relatively recent area in tribo-testing methodologies, where small particles of less than 10 mm are employed between interacting surfaces. It is topical for a number of reasons; its direct relation to the mechanisms of the wear process in bio-tribological applications, ease in conducting tests and the good repeatability of the test results. It has widespread appl...
Recently, tribocorrosion is widely accepted as an interdisciplinary area of research and such studies on the various materials is gaining more attention by the scientist and engineers due to its practical and economical significances. Hence the main objective of present work was to investigate the tribocorrosion behavior of single layered titanium oxycarbide, TiCxOy, thin films on a reciprocating sliding tribo-...
Acoustic Emission (AE) has been widely used for monitoring manufacturing processes particularly those involving metal cutting. Monitoring the condition of the cutting tool in the machining process is very important since tool condition will affect the part size, quality and an unexpected tool failure may damage the tool, work-piece and sometimes the machine tool itself. AE can be effectively used for tool condi...
There is increasing interest in the interactions of microabrasion, involving small particles of less than 10 mm in size, with corrosion. This is because such interactions occur in many environments ranging from the offshore to health care sectors. In particular, microabrasion–corrosion can occur in oral processing, where the abrasive components of food interacting with the acidic environment, can lead to degrad...
Recently, directionally oriented warp knit structures have gained prominence as reinforcements in composite materials due to their superior isotropic behaviour compared to other types of textile reinforcements. In the present study, composites prepared from four types of directionally oriented warp knit glass preforms with three different thermoset resins have been considered for the tribological characterisati...
