Welcome to the Laboratory for Nanotribology and Wear Mechanics (LNWM) Dr. Chad S. Korach — Laboratory Director
The laboratory resides in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook. The focus of the group is in the development and implementation of models for material life prediction and strength related to tribology and solid mechanics. Projects the lab is involved in are on the environmental degradation of fiber-reinforced composites, new materials for low friction and wear applications such as nanocomposites, bio-inspired and bio-mimetic material design and characterization, chemical mechanical polishing friction fundamentals for advanced dielectrics, development of material characterization techniques at the micro– and nanoscale, and nano-biotribology related to dental science and medicine. The laboratory provides research opportunities and training to Stony Brook graduate and undergraduate students and local area high school students in the areas of tribology and solid mechanics. |
