Employment of Micro- and Nano-WS₂ Structures to Enhance the Tribological Properties of Copper Matrix Composites

Friction and wear are responsible for around 23% of the energy consumption in transportation, manufacturing, power generation, and residential sectors. Employed components are exposed to a wide range of operational conditions, therefore a suitable material design is fundamental to decreasing tribolo...
