PW (WUT)

WUT's fields of experience relevant for the project include microtribology, friction and wear effectsoccurring between interacting surfaces during handling and assembly procedures Mechanics, rheology, adhesion and tribology Experimental studies of nanotopography of surfaces, nanomechanical (hardness, elasticity modulus, tensile/bending/compresion strength etc.) behaviour of ultrathin films and microcomponents, adhesion and nanotribological properties of ultrathin films, surface layers and small amount of materials, distribution of mechanical, adhesive (surface free energy) and tribological properties on micro/nanoareas and volumes, stiction problems; these items applied mainly for polymers; micromachining by using scanning probe microscopy Modelling Mechanical, rheological, adhesive/stiction, nanotribological behaviour of ultrathin films, small amount of materials, micromponents ,mechanics of flow, contact mechanics problems on micro/nanoscale, optimization of design of microelements and structures; application in particular for polymeric microelements, Antisticking layers, investigation of polymers and definition of the processing to obtain this aim; printing temperature, visco-elastic properties , interfacial energy between the polymer and the substrate and between the polymer and stamp to optimize; surface free energy distribution on the surface , nanomechanical and nanotribological properties distribution on the surface and in bulk Friction between contacting surfaces, wear Experimental studies and modelling : design rules and triboenginering of the materials and structures should be elaborated: Tests on materials. ultrathin films, special samples, MEMS microcomponents: both mechanical and tribological, Test on complete MEMS devices, Adhesion studies, wetting ability, surface free energy of real microcomponetns, films etc.
