The project aims to develop new principles of viscoelastic lubrication in soft contacts. New insights into friction behaviour arising from complex fluid-substrate interactions are expected to be generated using techniques and interdisciplinary approaches that bridge rheology, tribology and surface science. The intended outcome is a lubrication model that interprets the contribution of viscoelastic effects occurring across multiple length and time scales. This should provide significant benefits to diverse fields including advanced materials and complex fluids, engineering tribology, bio-lubrication and food structure design.

该项目旨在开发软接触粘弹性润滑的新原理。通过将流变学、摩擦学和表面科学结合起来的技术和跨学科方法，有望对复杂的流体-衬底相互作用产生的摩擦行为产生新的见解。预期的结果是一个润滑模型，解释了粘弹性效应在多个长度和时间尺度上的贡献。这将为包括先进材料和复杂流体、工程摩擦学、生物润滑和食品结构设计在内的各个领域提供显著的好处。
