Gardos, Michael N., Soriano, Bonnie L., Propst, Stephen H.
Whirling arm rain erosion tests and scanning electron microscope (SEM) tribometry were performed, in parallel, with germanium (Ge) flats coated with sputtered DLC films ranging in thickness from 0.25...

friction and wear of diamond: a material for MEMS and NEMS application
Tahir C Agin, Jianwei Che, Michael N. Gardos, William A. Goddard
To date most of the MEMS devices are been based on Silicon. This is due to the technological know-how accumulated on manipulating, machining, manufacturing of Silicon. However, only very few devices...
Environmental SEM tribometry of the pressureless-sintered Hexoloy alpha-SiC ceramics was continued in 0.2 and 3.4 Torr partial pressures of oxygen (Po2) at room temperature (RT) to 95O deg C, coupled...

The goals, structure and highlights of a recently completed multiyear/multinational research program are described. The main driving force behind this effort was the aim to advance the technology...
The fundamental nature of the research was exemplified by ab-initio predictions of the friction coefficient of single crystal diamond sliding against its mating diamond plane, and molecular dynamics...

This report deals with the efforts expended during the last 27 months of a 39 month program to develop a polymeric, self-lubricating composite bearing material with a dynamic load-carrying capacity...
Chemical and Tribological Studies of MoS2 Films on SiC Substrates. (1998)
Didziulis, Stephen V., Fleischauer, Paul D., Soriano, Bonnie L., Gardos, Michael N.
The lubrication of ceramic surfaces is vital to permit the use of ceramics in many types of moving mechanical assembly. This paper reports the results of pin-on-flat friction and wear studies...
Gardos, Michael N., Hong, Hyun-Soo, Winer, Ward O.
Fiction and wear tests were completed with the (001) and (110) planes of single crystal rutile specimens sliding against selected ceramic counterfaces, in well-defined crystallographic directions....
