Project
NANOCOAT: Development of Self-lubricating Nanocomposite Coatings impregnated with in-situ formed MoS2 for Tribological Applications.
These nanocomposites electrodeposited in a unique way are expected to possess interesting functional properties thanks to the presence of WC on one hand, and an ultra low friction thanks to in-situ formed MoS2 on the other hand. The aim is to demonstrate the potentiality of these nanocomposites to become a suitable alternative to hard chrome, and that their use will contribute to a protection of the environment by suppressing liquid lubricants thanks to their intrinsic self-lubrication properties.
