• Rubber contact mechanics: adhesion, friction and leakage of seals 

      Tiwari, Avinash; Dorogin, Leonid; Tahir, M; Stöckelhuber, Klaus Werner; Heinrich, Gert; Espallargas, Nuria; Persson, B. N. J (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      We study the adhesion, friction and leak rate of seals for four different elastomers: Acrylonitrile Butadiene Rubber (NBR), Ethylene Propylene Diene (EPDM), Polyepichlorohydrin (GECO) and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). ...
    • Stretching and breaking of PEO nanofibres. A classical force field and ab initio simulation study 

      Bering, Eivind; de Wijn, Astrid S. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      The burgeoning development of nanotechnology is allowing us to construct more and more nano-scale systems in the real world that used to only exist in computer simulations. Among them, nanofibres made of only a few aligned ...
