Friction materials are used to generate controlled friction for braking or power transfer applications while minimizing wear. Products include brake pads and brake shoes, clutch plates, bonded ...

These functional materials are called "smart" because they can autonomously ... to develop a system that controllably and accurately generates both low and high friction forces that can be dynamically ...

The team also demonstrated that water velocity could be selectively controlled by covering the high friction hBN channels ... water molecules and confining 2D materials play a crucial role in ...
