Project on investigation of tribological properties of epoxy filled with lubricant microcapsules by Muthiah Ponmani.

“…There is a need to continually improve these products to make them more cost efficient. [1] One such cost effective way is to reduce the loss of material due to general wear and tear through the use of lubricants. One method of including lubricants into the material is to incorporate the lubricants in the form of microcapsules and to mix them into the material itself. …”

Enhancing condensation with micro/nanostructured metal additively manufactured materials by Foo, Ru Yuan

“…In this project, the behaviour of water condensation on different enhanced surfaces and in the presence of surface coating has been investigated in relation to surface morphology, wettability, and heat transfer performance. Lubricant Infused Surfaces (LISs) are surfaces coated with lubricant and held by capillary forces induced by the surface micro/nanostructures thus allowing low adhesion and high mobility of droplets in contact with the surface. …”
