  • Lubrication (15.17%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Tribology, Composite material, Lubrication, Pulsed laser deposition and Lubricant. Tribology is a subfield of Metallurgy that Jeffrey S. Zabinski investigates. Composite material is a component of his Coating, Scanning electron microscope and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy studies.

In his work, Cyclopentane and Phase is strongly intertwined with Chemical engineering, which is a subfield of Lubrication. His Pulsed laser deposition study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Laser ablation, Microstructure and Analytical chemistry. His research in Thin film intersects with topics in Amorphous solid, Crystallinity and Ion beam.

Between 2005 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Colorimetric Response of Peptide‐Functionalized Gold Nanoparticles to Metal Ions (198 citations)
  • Laser surface texturing for adaptive solid lubrication (186 citations)
  • Tribology of adaptive nanocomposite yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings containing silver and molybdenum from 25 to 700 °C (87 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Composite material
  • Metallurgy
  • Organic chemistry

His primary scientific interests are in Composite material, Lubrication, Tribology, Microstructure and Lubricant. His research investigates the link between Composite material and topics such as Transmission electron microscopy that cross with problems in Analytical chemistry. His Tribology research is within the category of Metallurgy.

As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Metallurgy, focusing on Nanocomposite and, on occasion, Molybdenum disulfide, Sputter deposition, Cubic zirconia, Molybdenum and Oxide. Jeffrey S. Zabinski has included themes like Pulsed laser deposition and Focused ion beam in his Microstructure study. His Dry lubricant study, which is part of a larger body of work in Lubricant, is frequently linked to Titanium nitride, bridging the gap between disciplines.
