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

Tomas Polcar spends much of his time researching Composite material, Coating, Tribology, Lubricant and Amorphous solid. His Composite material research includes themes of Thin film and Ion implantation. His Coating research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Molybdenum, Raman spectroscopy, Nanotribology, Substrate and Sputter deposition.

His Sputter deposition study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Microstructure. His research in Tribology intersects with topics in Lubrication, Dissipation, Thermodynamics and Sputtering. His Lubricant research integrates issues from Nanosheet and Molecular dynamics.

Between 2019 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Precise control of the interlayer twist angle in large scale MoS2 homostructures. (30 citations)
  • The structural evolution of light-ion implanted 6H-SiC single crystal: Comparison of the effect of helium and hydrogen (14 citations)
  • Comparative Study of DC and RF Sputtered MoSe2 Coatings Containing Carbon—An Approach to Optimize Stoichiometry, Microstructure, Crystallinity and Hardness (10 citations)

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

  • Composite material
  • Thermodynamics
  • Metallurgy

Tomas Polcar mainly investigates Composite material, Tribology, Lubricant, Microstructure and Thin film. His work on Indentation hardness, Nanocomposite and Crystal twinning as part of general Composite material study is frequently connected to High pressure, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them. His Tribology study combines topics in areas such as Mechanics, Dissipative system and Dissipation.

His Lubricant research incorporates themes from Nanosheet, Sputtering, Molecular dynamics, Exfoliation joint and Coating. His Coating study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Wear resistance, Wear debris, Layer, Tin and Modulus. His study explores the link between Microstructure and topics such as Sputter deposition that cross with problems in Wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope, Raman spectroscopy and Chemical engineering.
