Tribological characterization of TiO2/Au decorative thin films obtained by PVD magnetron sputtering technology

The aim of this work is to evaluate the tribological behavior of decorative thin film nanocomposites consisting of gold nanoparticles dispersed in a dielectric matrix of TiO2. The main focus is given to the changes in the friction coefficient and wear rate, as well as on the overall tribological fea...
