Laser meets 2D Materials

The figure describes the synergetic approach of structuring material surfaces using laser processes and combining them with novel 2D materials. This combination allows the precise generation of well-defined and remotely arranged structures in material surfaces and the possibility of modifying mechanical properties as well as wetting and tribological properties through the additional deposition of layers based on 2D materials such as graphene or MXene.

Cross-sectional image of a laser-structured and coated steel surface

The image shows an FIB cross-section of a steel surface that has been structured using laser interference and then coated with a 2D material, in this case MXene as transition metal carbide Ti3C2. The individual MXene flakes deposited in the valleys of the laser structures are clearly recognisable.

Group photo TU Vienna - Nanjing Symposium Tribology

In December 2024, the 3rd TU Wien-Nanjing Tribology Symposium was held at TU Wien with around 60 international guests on the topic of novel 2D materials and methods for reducing friction and wear. This is also the core topic of Task 12 within the AMT-TCP.
