Preston United Kingdom Engineering Materials Science

About the Project

Applications are invited for an MSc by Research studentship in the School of Natural Sciences and School of Engineering.

It is expected the successful applicant will commence 1 October 2022.

The capability to print solid lubricants on a range of materials has opened the possibility to enhance the performance of a range of existing dry bearing products by the simple post-production step of printing a solid lubricant on its surface.

This project aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this step on bearing friction while forming a fundamental understanding of the behaviour of the lubricating materials.
