      Adaptive VN/Ag nanocomposite coatings with lubricious behavior from 25 to 1000 °c 

      Aouadi, S. M.; Singh, D. P.; Stone, D. S.; Polychronopoulou, K.; Nahif, F.; Rebholz, Claus; Muratore, C.; Voevodin, A. A. (2010)
      A two-phase nanocomposite coating that consists of inclusions of silver in a vanadium nitride matrix (VN/Ag) was investigated as a potential adaptive coating with a reduced friction coefficient from 25 to 1000 °C. This ...

      Broom-like and flower-like heterostructures of silver molybdate through pH controlled self assembly 

      Singh, D. P.; Sirota, B.; Talpatra, S.; Kohli, P.; Rebholz, Claus; Aouadi, S. M. (2012)
      Silver molybdate microrods are selfassembled into micron sized, broom-like and flowerlike structures. Our investigations indicate that through a simple hydrothermal process, large scale production of such structure is ...

      The influence of structure on thermal behavior of reactive Al–Ni powder mixtures formed by ball milling 

      Hadjiafxenti, A.; Gunduz, I. E.; Tsotsos, C.; Kyratsi, Theodora; Aouadi, S. M.; Doumanidis, C. C.; Rebholz, Claus (2010)
      Ball milling (BM) was used to produce reactive Al–Ni powder mixtures that exhibit self-propagating exothermic reactions (SPER) for nano–micro heater applications. Powders with an Al–Ni molar ratio of 1:3 were milled, cold ...

      Room temperature synthesis and high temperature frictional study of silver vanadate nanorods 

      Singh, D. P.; Polychronopoulou, K.; Rebholz, Claus; Aouadi, S. M. (2010)
      We report the room temperature (RT) synthesis of silver vanadate nanorods (consisting of mainly β-AgVO3) by a simple wet chemical route and their frictional study at high temperatures (HT). The sudden mixing of ammonium ...

      Textured VN coatings with Ag3VO4 solid lubricant reservoirs 

      Luster, B.; Stone, D.; Singh, D. P.; Baben, M. to; Schneider, J. M.; Polychronopoulou, K.; Rebholz, Claus; Kohli, P.; Aouadi, S. M. (2011)
      Silver oxovanadate powders were produced using a low temperature hydrothermal synthesis method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman microscopy revealed the formation of the α-Ag3VO4 phase, and differential scanning calorimetry ...
