Tribology is the study of interacting surfaces in motion and the measurement of properties such as friction, wear and abrasion. When designing nanoscale devices the consideration of tribology is particularly important because the high surface area ratio enhances problems with friction and wear.
Tribology is the science of wear, friction and lubrication which has been utilized in biomedical applications. Medical grade metals and alloys can provide internal support in the body and are employed as replacements for biological tissue.
Tribological properties associated with wear, friction and lubrication are important to the implementation of many biomedical applications. Medicine now allows for the replacement of biological tissue with artificial devices.
In a collaborative effort between researchers from the Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology (SAIT) and Seoul National University’s School of Chemical and Biological Engineering, a unique “graphene” ball has been designed to improve charging speeds by five-fold and increase battery capacity by an impressive 45%.
