3D Tribo-Nanoprinting is a novel method of additive manufacturing capable of producing 3D structures of nanoscale dimensions. In this project I aim to understand the method using the formation of ZDDP tribofilms under the rubbing contact of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). This will help to develop the understanding of how these films form and how they provide their crucial anti-wear properties (ZDDP is used as a lubricant additive ubiquitously in the automotive industry). The second part of the project will then attempt to build on this method by applying it to functional materials (ie. any material that can provide beneficial engineering properties such as electrical conductivity or magnetism). The applications of this part of the project include novel biosensors, Micro Electro-Mechanical device (MEMs) manufacture, surface engineering and nanorobotics.

3D摩擦纳米打印是一种新型的增材制造方法，能够生产纳米尺寸的3D结构。在这个项目中，我的目的是了解使用ZDDP摩擦膜下的原子力显微镜（AFM）的摩擦接触形成的方法。这将有助于了解这些薄膜是如何形成的，以及它们是如何提供关键的抗磨性能的（ZDDP在汽车工业中普遍用作润滑油添加剂）。然后，该项目的第二部分将尝试通过将其应用于功能材料（即材料）来建立这种方法。可以提供有益的工程性质如导电性或磁性的任何材料）。这部分计划的应用包括新型生物传感器、微机电器件（MEMS）制造、表面工程和纳米机器人。
