Eco-friendly brake friction materials were formulated without copper, lead, tin, antimony
trisulfide, and whisker materials, to minimize their potential negative environmental impacts. A …

Raw materials used in automotive friction formulations were classified using a combinatorial
approach into two groups in accordance with their ability to improve the wear properties of …

Eco-friendly brake friction composites with good friction performance were developed. The
raw materials utilized were selected according to eco-friendly criterion that natural products …

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disease which severely impacts the health of the
elderly. Current treatments are only able to alleviate symptoms, but not prevent or cure the …

Fast steering mirror (FSM) system is a precise beam steering mechanism which modulates
the beam between a light source and a receiver using its reflecting surface. High bandwidth …

Two different analytical methods, the first-order paraxial approximation method and the
nonparaxial ray tracing method, are applied to determine the steering mechanism of the Risley …

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) acts as the crucial physical filtration structure in the central
nervous system. Here, we investigate the role of a specific subset of astrocytes in the regulation …

The paper addresses the potential application of jute fibers in combination with powderized
hazelnut shells as natural and biodegradable fillers in non-asbestos organic (NAO) friction …

Interactions between osteolineage cells and myeloid cells play important roles in maintaining
skeletal homeostasis. Herein, we find that osteolineage cells transfer mitochondria to …

Apart from the service conditions during the braking (eg applied pressure, velocity of rotor)
the friction-wear properties of friction composites used as a car brake lining are directly …
