Investigation of Effect of Surface Modification by Electropolishing on Tribological Behaviour of Worm Gear Pairs by Robert Mašović, Suzana Jakovljević, Ivan Čular, Daniel Miler, Dragan Žeželj

“…Moreover, electropolished worms can reliably support full contact patterns and prevent scuffing due to improved lubrication conditions resulting from the produced surface texture and oxide surface layer. Based on the obtained results, electropolishing presents a promising method for surface texturing and modification in machine elements characterized by highly loaded non-conformal contacts and complex geometry.…”

All-in-one inks for one-step printing of solid-state graphene micro-supercapacitors on cellulose substrates by Jian Du, Xiaoqian Zhong, Woo Jin Hyun

“…Printable graphene inks, widely developed for micro-supercapacitors (MSCs), facilitate the fabrication of microscale graphene electrodes with complex interdigitated structures. However, dense graphene flake packing in printed electrodes hinders electrolyte penetration, reducing the electrode/electrolyte interface for the electric double layer and thereby limiting the capacitance. …”
