  GreenTRIBOS EJD ITN doctorate programme (Horizon 2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions) (2019 - 2023)

  The Laboratory for Tribology and Surface Nanotechnology (TINT) at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, in cooperation with partners from the University of Leeds (United Kingdom), the University of Coimbra (Portugal) and the Technical University of Lulea (Sweden), succeeded in obtaining funding—with an overall score of ...

  Novel design of EHL contacts by employing solid-liquid interface phenomena (2019 - 2021)

  Prosed project focuses on the design of novel and innovative elasto-hydrodynamic (EHD) contacts that provide remarkably low energy losses due to significantly reduced friction at the solid-liquid interfaces in fully-realistic lubrication conditions.

  Nano-engineered Green lubrication technology for sustainable high-performance stamping (2018 - 2021)

  The GreenSTAMP project is about designing novel, green, high-performance, boundary-film contacts for stamping that satisfy technological and increasingly strict legislative requirements that will reduce greenhouse-gas emissions. This is a critical requirement for stamping and other heavy-loaded lubricated mechanical components ...

  To tailor film thickness and friction in oil lubricated contacts by solid-liquid interactions (2018 - 2020)

  Lubricated contacts are of great importance for many mechanical systems and often a key component that facilitate smooth operation. In these contacts it is desired that lubricating oil forms enough thick lubricating film that prevents direct contacts between both contact surfaces and thus enable low or no-wear ...

• 

  Green high-performance and low-friction interfaces tailored by the reactivity of novel DLC coatings and ionic liquids (2017 - 2020)

  The GreenCOAT project is about designing green, DLC-coated interface based on an innovative HiPIMS DLC-deposition technology that can be tailored to operate with ionic liquids, a harmless form of lubrication that will comply with tough new restrictions relating to greenhouse-gas ...

• 

  Enhanced wear protection using nanostructured materials and nanoparticles (2015 - 2020)

  Two main constituents of tribology are friction and wear, the control and reduction of both parameters are critical for proper functionality of machine elements.
