Topical Collection Information

Dear Colleagues,

The "Rising Stars in Tribological Research" collection aims to shed light on the groundbreaking contributions of young and emerging researchers in the ever-evolving field of tribology, our beloved and multidisciplinary science concerned with friction, lubrication, and wear. By showcasing the latest advancements and novel perspectives from rising stars in this dynamic field, this collection seeks to accelerate progress and inspire future directions in tribological research. The collection covers a wide range of topics within tribology, encompassing experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches. It includes studies exploring the fundamental aspects of friction and wear, the development of advanced lubricants, surface engineering techniques, and innovative solutions for reducing friction and wear in various engineering applications. By bringing together a diverse array of cutting-edge studies, this collection offers valuable insights and inspiration for experts and researchers, fostering collaborations and advancing the frontiers of tribological science and engineering. The innovative approaches and sustainable solutions presented in this collection have the potential to drive advancements in numerous industries and improve the overall efficiency and reliability of mechanical systems.

The thermal stability of the γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposites and super low friction of the γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposite coatings in ambient air at high temperature are investigated in this paper. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microcopy, transmission scanning electron microcopy, high-temperature tribometer, thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry were used to investigate the microstructure, surface morphology and high-temperature tribological properties of the γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposite coatings, respectively. The results show that the γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposite with the core–shell structure has excellent thermal stability because the SiO2 shell inhibits the phase transition of the γ-Fe2O3 phase to the α-Fe2O3 phase in the nanocomposites. The temperature of the phase transition in γ-Fe2O3 can be increased from 460 to 829 °C. The γ-Fe2O3@SiO2 nanocomposite coatings exhibit super low friction (0.05) at 500 °C. A high-temperature super low friction mechanism is attributed to γ-Fe2O3 and the tribochemical reactions during sliding. Full article
