According to statistics, friction consumes about 1/3 of the world's disposable energy, and the economic losses caused by friction and wear in industrialized countries can reach more than 5% of GDP, and the construction of low-friction, high-stability and long-life lubrication technology is the direction that friction science has been striving for.
“Superlubricity” is a subversive lubrication technology proposed in recent years that can greatly break the limits of existing material lubrication performance. Its friction coefficient and energy consumption are several orders of magnitude lower than traditional lubrication, with near-zero friction and wear lubrication characteristics, helping humans to solve the problem of friction and wear in the development of energy consumption and installation.
