Technique to develop low-friction materials with application for energy issues

Thursday, July 10, 2014 - 08:31 in Physics & Chemistry

A research group led by Dr. Masahiro Goto and Dr. Michiko Sasaki created an unprecedented, highly efficient method for developing friction materials with a desired frictional property. The method is able to drastically accelerate the development of materials that have a friction coefficient suited to the purpose of use, such as low-friction materials for reducing energy loss and high-friction materials required for high-performance brakes.
