Electrostatic in-plane structural superlubric actuator

Large stroke, long lifespan and durability are challenging in electrostatic in-plane micro actuators. Here, the authors exploit the structural superlubric sliding interfaces of a micro-scale graphite flake and the silicon dioxide track to achieve this goal.

Fully automatic transfer and measurement system for structural superlubric materials

A critical step to enable practical structural superlubricity (SSL) applications is to enable high throughput to both fabrication and performance evaluation. Here, the authors demonstrate an automated system for efficient and multiple SSL materials transfer and tribological measurement.

Robust microscale structural superlubricity between graphite and nanostructured surface

Structural superlubricity (SSL) is a state of nearly zero friction and no wear between two contacted solid surfaces. Here, authors show that, by preventing edge contact with the substrate, a microscale graphite flake can achieve robust SSL against nanostructured silicon surfaces under ambient condition.

Measurement of the cleavage energy of graphite

Knowing the cleavage energy of graphite layers is important to understand the mechanical properties of graphite, graphene and related compounds. Here, the authors report a high accuracy experimental measurement of the cleavage energy and validation through multiscale modelling.

Condensation droplet sieve

Spontaneous droplet jumping and control of dropwise condensation are relevant for water-harvesting, heat transfer and anti-frosting applications. The authors design a superhydrophobic surface with microscale thin-walled lattice structure to achieve effective jumping of droplets with specified radius range.
