FEATURES

20 MINUTES

20 Minutes With Min Zou
This Arkansas professor explains why nanoscale surface engineering provides performance that macro- or microscale can’t match.

LUBRICATION FUNDAMENTALS

What’s so bad about foamy foams?
Plenty. Fortunately, formulators have several bubble-bursting options.

WEBINARS

Effective use of organomolybdenum additives in lubricants
These versatile and non-toxic chemistries solve difficult friction problems and enhance the performance of other additives.

FEATURE ARTICLE

Filter debris analysis: From aircraft to wind turbines
FDA has prevented aviation catastrophes for years. Experts say it’s about time the wind industry got on board.

TECH BEAT I 

Writing a wear sensor into a machine
A controlled deposition process enables a metallic sensor to be accurately placed in a machine.

TECH BEAT II 

3D printing of lithium-ion battery electrodes
The flexibility found with 3D printing led to the preparation of a new porous architecture.

TECH BEAT III 

Centrifugal magnetic fluid seals
Good low- and high-speed performance leads to increased seal lifetime, minimum torque and minimum static friction.

SOUNDING BOARD 

Tribological testing
If you could create a new tribological test, what would you make that would most benefit lubrication engineers in their work?
