Tribology and interface nanotechnology
Research for friction, wear and interface control
Laboratory for tribology and interface nanotechnology (L-TINT), with nearly 20 experts, is recognized domestically and worldwide for providing research and technological solutions in the fields of surface and interface nanotechnology, boundary lubrication and tribochemistry, for the development of functional surfaces and contact engineering and for management of friction and wear mechanisms in systems with conventional and nonconventional materials at nano and macro scale. With a leading role in the field of environmentally friendly, green lubrication technologies the TINT group can provide a comprehensive and effective sustainable treatment of the most demanding tribological problems in engineering systems.
