Thin-Film PVD Coating Metamaterials Exhibiting Similarities to Natural Processes under Extreme Tribological Conditions

This paper discusses the surface-engineered nanomaterials (adaptive nano-structured physical vapor deposition (PVD) thin-film coatings) that can effectively perform under severely non-equilibrium tribological conditions. The typical features of these nanomaterials are: (a) Dynamically interacting el...
