The main objective of the visit is to strengthen the interactions between the Laboratório de Fenômenos de Superfície (LFS) of the Escola Politécnica da USP (EPUSP) and the Mechanics, Surfaces and Materials Processing Laboratory (MSMP) of the Ecole Nationale Superieure d'Arts et Métiers (ENSAM), France. This strengthening will occur through the discussion of topics on tribology, especially…

This project aims the study and characterization of surfaces of graphene samples, by analyzing three aspects: topography, tribology and the mechanical properties of the material, especially its hardness. Furthermore, regarding tribology, efforts will be made in order to understand the effect of electrification on the friction coefficient value. The research will be conducted at Laboratóri…
The expansion of the use of ethanol as fuel has generated many investigations regarding its impact on the performance of Internal Combustion Engines (ICM). In general, due to high latent heat of evaporation of ethanol, lubricant contamination can be significant and often damaging to lubrication efficiency of ICM parts (for example, the ring-liner system). More specifically, this lubricati…
This project is related to a scholarship for Vinicius Domingos Guimarães de Campos. The main objective of this project is to contribute with the continuity of the studies on the mechanical behavior of thin films at the Laboratório de Fenômenos de Superfície of the Escola Politécnica da USP (LFS-EPUSP), particularly during the tensile testing of coated specimens. More specifically, the stu…

This submission refers to the participation of Dr. Roberto Martins de Souza in the program Novas Fronteiras, sponsored by FAPESP. The main objective of this project is to generate conditions for Dr. Souza to develop new ideas in the area of the Fracture Mechanics of Thin Films and Interfaces, not only in terms of the fracture toughness of the films, but also in terms of adhesion. The deve…
