Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Despite many efforts are being undertaken to design high tribo-performance epoxy nanocomposite, it still remains a great challenge at the expense of matrix strength for actual demanding engineering application. Herein, we propose a useful strategy (synergism of “soft” and “hard” nanomaterials) to construct epoxy nanocomposite with superior toughness, highly wear durability and self-lubricating ability, especially the interface issue between filler and matrix can be well improved without any surface treatment. In brief, we composited the graphene with molybdenum disulfide to fabricate lubricant rGO-MoS2 nanocomposite. The soft component (hyperbranched polysiloxane) with typical flexible Si-O-C backbone was synthesized via one-pot ester exchange polymerization. These two materials can be well used to construct EP composite, and their advantages regarding lubricity and toughen are well exerted. By optimizing the composition, the material with high mechanical strength (37.4 KJ·m2), low friction coefficient (0.16) and wear rate (3.21 × 10-6 mm3/(N·m)) was obtained. Interestingly, TEM of ultra-thin epoxy slice shows the interface state of rGO-MoS2 within resin matrix will be influenced when hyperbranched polysiloxane is introduced, which is the main reason that caused the admirable outcomes. Highlighting the compelling comprehensive effect, this work paves a new way toward designing high-performance polymer tribo-materials for real engineering application.
