Interface-Governed Deformation of Nanobubbles and Nanotents Formed by Two-Dimensional Materials
In this paper, we experimentally characterize a simple and unified power law for the profiles of a variety of nanobubbles and nanotents formed by 2D materials such as graphene and MoS2 layers. https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.121.266101
ABSTRACT
Multifunctional “Hydrogel Skins” on Diverse Polymers with Arbitrary Shapes
In this paper, we introduce a new simple yet effective strategy to form "hydrogel skins" on polymer-based medical devices with arbitrary shapes. Hydrogel skins can convert any surface of polymer devices into robust, wet, soft, slippery, antifouling, and ionically conductive without affecting the original properties and geometries.

Is Tribology Approaching Its Golden Age? Grand Challenges in Engineering Education and Tribological Research
An interesting paper by VL Popov which suggests many problems of tribology are still very far from being remotely solved. Despite the very detailed theories for example on rough contact using fractal surfaces on which we have debated mainly academically , there is not a single theory for any quantitative prediction of friction coefficient which can vary by 1 order of magnitude and its dependence on many variables, let alone wear coefficient which can vary up to 7 orders of magnitude. What is left to do, other than measure? Is tribology bound to be in practice just an
On stickiness criteria for multiscale random rough contacts
We have just submitted a paper which solves a problem that I have been struggling to solve for many years.
Any comments are welcome to improve, while the paper goes the standard review process in the journal we submitted it.
On stickiness of multiscale randomly rough surfaces
are fractal surfaces adhesive? a new attempt on JMPS
In 2007 I wrote a question in Imechanica, IS THERE NO PULL-OFF FOR ADHESIVE FRACTAL SURFACES?
Clearly, in 2007 this question was too hard to answer. I pointed there that Fuller and Tabor 1975 asperity theory predicted a weird limit for a true fractal surface, that of no stickiness for any fractal dimension or amplitude, in the limit.
