Feasibility of wear reduction for soft nanostructured thin film through enhanced elastic recoverability and contact stress relief
Abstract This work shows that a soft, thin film comprising randomly aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) can reduce surface wear more effectively than a homogeneous thin film because of enhanced elastic recoverability and contact stress relief originating from its mesh structure. To investigate the wear...
