Genetically-tunable morphology and mechanical properties of bacterial functional amyloid nanofibers
(Bilkent University, 2017-05)The highly dynamic behavior of material systems exploited by nature results in research efforts to employ them as next generation biomaterials exhibiting sustainability and resistance against harsh environmental conditions. ... -
Influence of interface structure on the nanotribological properties of exfoliated graphene
(Bilkent University, 2016-07)On the nano- and micro-scale, conventional liquid-based lubrication cannot be utilized to minimize friction due to excessive surface tension and related effects. To overcome this limitation, solid lubricants suitable for ... -
Investigation of structural lubricity on platinum nanoparticles under ambient conditions
(Bilkent University, 2017-05)Structural lubricity describes a state of ultra-low friction involving relative motion between atomically flat and molecularly clean surfaces with incommensurate structures. While the occurrence of structural lubricity was ... -
Modeling of NC-AFM experiments by the utilization of molecular dynamics and the harmonic oscillator model
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)Atomic force microscopy is a widely-used instrument in nanotechnology and nanoscience. Imaging of single molecules, atoms or even bond structures and tip-sample interactions with pm and pN resolution are made possible with ... -
Nanotribological properties of graphene grown by chemical vapor deposition and transferred onto silicon oxide substrates
(Bilkent University, 2015)To extend the lifespan of mechanical systems, wear and friction must be minimized with the utilization of lubricants. On the other hand, traditional fluid-based lubrication schemes fail in nano- and micro-scale systems ... -
Structure and nanotribology of thermally deposited gold nanoparticles on graphite
(Bilkent University, 2015)Forming a complete understanding of the physical mechanisms that govern friction on the nanometer and atomic scales is an ongoing endeavor for scientists from various disciplines. While atomic force microscopy (AFM) has ...
