Through a multi-university collaboration, researchers have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at extremely high temperatures, well beyond the breakdown ...

Researchers at Virginia Tech have discovered a new, solid lubricating mechanism that can reduce friction in machinery at ...

Fortunately [pescado99] has shared a beautifully simple cure for dead or dying remote buttons: graphite dry lubricant. Most remotes operate by pushing a conductive carbon coating on the back of ...

which leads to graphite’s fame as a lubricant. It was once thought that graphite’s lubricity came from fluids like air or water being trapped between these monoatomic layers, giving it some ...

Silicone spray is great for lubricating nylon, plastic and metal when only a thin layer of lubricant is necessary. Because silicone dries, it wont get your clothing greasy. Graphite lubricant is ...

These composites often incorporate solid lubricants, such as graphite or silicon carbide (SiC), which enhance their tribological properties—essentially their ability to withstand friction and wear.
