Characterization of engine liner topography by Maung Pho La Minn.

“…The characterization of engine liner topography has been a topic of considerable research in manufacturing, tribology, surface metrology and auto-mobile engineering for the past 30 years. It is believed that an idle surface topography would result in a short running-in stage, low oil consumption, low harmful emissions, prolonged engine life and good engine performance. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”
