BiokraftTriC
Tribological Behaviour of C-Based Thin-Film Systems in Biofuels
Object of research
- C-based thin films without / with doping (ta-C, a-C:H, a-C:H:Si, a-C:N, etc.)
- Raman spectroscopy on C-films
- Characterisation of different biofuels and interaction with C-films
- Investigation of the influence of stabilisers and additives
- High-temperature tribology
Results
- Stabilisers in biodiesel have an impact on the tribological behaviour
- Different biodiesel grades (different biomass raw materials, manufacturing technology, additives etc.) have an impact on degradation due to wear
- Interaction of doped a-C:H:X-films with water and other polar components of the biofuel has an impact on the friction coefficient
