Techniques using membranes for the treatment of wastewater usually promote higher quality of treated water when compared to other processes. Among them, pervaporation has advantages in terms of selectivity, in addition to ...

Tissue engineering aims to replace the affected tissues and organs through structures known as scaffolds. Biomaterials and tissue engineering can be applied in tissue replacement, through the use of biocompatible, bioactive ...

Diamond-like Carbon films (DLC) films, despite research being developed over four decades, have restricted industrial use and prevent massive application in recent years due to the low adhesion of this material to ferrous ...

Friction materials are fundamental components in vehicle motion control and therefore have extremely complex technical requirements. Currently it is not enough to develop a product that has friction coefficient stability, ...

Austenitic stainless steels are alternatives to meet the demand for advanced materials for applications that aim to reduce energy consumption and deterioration of components due to tribological phenomena such as friction ...

Computer simulations are becoming increasingly useful for studying friction, enabling the application of controlled conditions, uncoupling mechanisms, and set-ups that are not usually achievable in physical experiments, ...
