Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Composite material
  • Metallurgy
  • Organic chemistry

Jeffrey S. Zabinski mainly investigates Composite material, Coating, Nanocomposite, Sputter deposition and Thin film. Composite material is often connected to Amorphous carbon in his work. Jeffrey S. Zabinski interconnects Tribology and Diamond-like carbon in the investigation of issues within Coating.

His Nanocomposite research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Yttria-stabilized zirconia, Toughness, Ceramic and Nanocrystalline material. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Carbide and Metallurgy. His work in the fields of Thin film, such as Pulsed laser deposition, overlaps with other areas such as Ambient humidity.

His most cited work include:

  • Supertough wear-resistant coatings with ‘chameleon’ surface adaptation (409 citations)
  • Nanocomposite and nanostructured tribological materials for space applications (279 citations)
  • Design of a Ti/TiC/DLC functionally gradient coating based on studies of structural transitions in Ti–C thin films (266 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Composite material, Pulsed laser deposition, Tribology, Thin film and Analytical chemistry. As part of his studies on Composite material, he often connects relevant areas like Forensic engineering. His Pulsed laser deposition study incorporates themes from Laser ablation, Scanning electron microscope, Transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and Sputter deposition.

His Tribology research entails a greater understanding of Metallurgy. His Thin film study also includes fields such as

  • Graphite and related Fullerene,
  • Silicon that intertwine with fields like Nanotechnology. The Analytical chemistry study combines topics in areas such as Amorphous solid, Substrate, Annealing and Sputtering.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Composite material (40.69%)
  • Pulsed laser deposition (39.31%)
  • Tribology (32.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2018)?

  • Tribology (32.41%)
  • Composite material (40.69%)
  • 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.
