Outline of research activity
The process of damage and fracture in materials
during friction and wear especially is focused on.
Final goal is to control such behavior, such as friction force and material protection.
Observation, measurement, and analysis are conducted to obtain useful information for it!
Research groups
* Palm oil group |
Wasted edible Palm oil is studied as recycling material for lubrication as eco-material |
* PVA gel group |
Poly-vinyl-alcohole gel is studied as self-lubrication material through composite approach with PVA fibers |
