Mobility GT is a project awarded with a Seal of Excellence from European Commission based on the MSCA COFUND scheme. This international programme will offers 24 postdoctoral 2.5-year fellowships for own-idea projects on tribology for sustainable green mobility. This project is led by the Laboratory for Tribology and Interface Nanotechnology (TINT) and ...
Biological medicines are transforming modern healthcare by enabling highly effective and personalised treatments for diseases such as cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders and rare genetic conditions. However, one of the ...
European manufacturing is at the centre of a twin ecological and digital transition, being both driver and subject to these changes. At the same time, manufacturing companies must maintain technological leadership and stay competitive. The size and the complexity of the associated challenges - such as the ...
Reduction of friction in lubricated contacts can be achieved using a recently discovered solid-liquid slip mechanism. This can be done, for example, by coating steel surfaces with diamond-like carbon (DLC) or other approaches that reduce the surface energy of the materials used for the contact pair.
Soft tissues and bone diseases affect hundreds of millions worldwide. The loss of bone tissue due to trauma or disease represents a clinical problem affecting more than 20 million people annually worldwide, with significant health, social, and economic consequences. Scorecard for Osteoporosis in Europe (SCOPE) data provides the related annual costs ...
Polymer (thermosets) are the obvious material choice for many EV components. However, the knowledge on
behavior of these materials under required conditions is limited. This project aims to study the performance of
thermoset materials under set of tribological conditions they are ...
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 ...
The project focuses on systematic and comprehensive analysis of the effects of AM (additive manufacturing) technologies on standardisation, surface quality, tribological behaviour and industrial use.
