Advanced universal mechanical tester for probing tribological interaction mechanisms at interfaces in complex fluids

所要求的通用机械测试系统是最新型号，也是世界上性能最高的系统之一，用于表征各种材料（如聚合物、生物聚合物、蛋白质、胶体悬浮液、金属、陶瓷、生物医学植入物）、工程和生物系统（如油砂工程、矿物加工）在复杂流体中的各种界面的摩擦学特性（如粘附、摩擦、润滑和磨损）。所提出的通用力学测试装置在实际应用中可提供从纳牛顿到千牛顿的各种模拟环境条件下的宏观、微观和纳米尺度的力学测试，是目前该领域用途最广、应用最广泛的机械和摩擦学测试系统。该设备提供比市场上任何其他摩擦计更高的速度，更大的扭矩和更好的力测量，具有更高的效率和易用性。这些摩擦学测试对于材料工程、化学工程、生物工程、机械工程、石油工程、矿物工程和环境工程等材料或表面的广泛应用至关重要。

The requested universal mechanical tester system is the latest model and one of the world’s highest performance systems designed for characterizing the tribological properties (e.g., adhesion, friction, lubrication and wear) at various interfaces of a broad range of materials (e.g., polymers, biopolymers, proteins, colloidal suspensions, metals, ceramics, biomedical implants), engineering and biological systems (e.g., oil sands engineering, mineral processing) in complex fluids. The proposed universal mechanical tester device provides macro-, micro- and nano-scale mechanical tests from nano-newton to kilo-newton under a variety of simulated environmental conditions in real-world applications, and it has been the most versatile and the most widely used mechanical and tribological test system available in the fields. The proposed device offers higher speeds, more torque, and better force measurements than any other tribometers on the market, with improved efficiency and ease-of-use. These tribological tests are critical for a wide range of applications of the materials or surfaces, in materials engineering, chemical engineering, bioengineering, mechanical engineering, petroleum engineering, mineral engineering, and environmental engineering.
