The use of lubricants (solid or liquid) is a well-known and suitable approach to reduce friction wear moving machine components. Another possibility influence the tribological behaviour formation well-defined surface topographies such as dimples, bumps lattice-like pattern geometries by laser texturing. However, both methods are limited in their effect: textures may be gradually destroyed plastic deformation removed from contact area, therefore no longer properly protecting contacting...

The transition toward an electricity‐driven world is testing electrical contact materials to their limits. Specifically, new alternatives are needed where composites that sacrificed conductivity in exchange for reduced weldability and higher heat dissipation sufficed. Carbon nanotubes (CNT) have the potential close gap as ideal fillers due outstanding intrinsic properties, pushing application limits further. However, reported measurements show no clear tendency. In present study, authors...

We report the chemical synthesis route, structural characterization, and physical properties of nanofluid magnetic graphite (NFMG) obtained from previously synthesized bulk organic (MG) by stabilizing aqueous ferrofluid suspension with an addition active cationic surfactant. The measured magnetization-field hysteresis curves along temperature dependence magnetization confirmed room-temperature ferromagnetism in both MG NFMG samples.

In addition to the double phase transition (with Curie temperatures TC=300 K and TCt=144 K), a low-temperature anomaly in dependence of magnetization is observed bulk magnetic graphite (MG) an average granular size L≃10 nm), which attributed manifestation effects below quantum temperature TL∝ℏ2/L2 well fitted by periodic function ML(T)∝sin[M(T)Λ(T)/L] with M(T) being Λ(T)∝ℏ/T thermal de Broglie wavelength. The best fits high-temperature data (using mean-field Curie–Weiss Bloch expressions)...

We report on unusual magnetic properties observed for nanofluid room temperature ferromagnetic graphite (with an average particle size of [Formula: see text] nm). More precisely, the measured magnetization exhibits a low anomaly (attributed to manifestation finite effects below quantum text]) as well pronounced oscillations above T = 50 K hard-sphere type pair correlations between particles in nanofluid).
