ESR Technology / Insights / ESTL contributes to “Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application” Article published in Scientific Reports

ESR Technology is proud to share that at our ESTL (European Space Tribology Laboratory) experts have contributed, along with ESA, Materials GmbH and Kompetenzzentrum Tribologie Mannheim, to the recently published article in Scientific Reports:

“Development of novel lubricant formulation for cleanroom and vacuum application”

Read the full article here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-97285-9

This study addresses the unique challenges of lubrication in contamination-sensitive environments such as cleanrooms and vacuum systems, which are critical in industries like semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and aerospace.

Key highlights of the research include:

Understanding the impact of vacuum and cleanroom conditions on lubricant performance.
Developing a comprehensive methodology for lubricant formulation tailored to contamination-sensitive applications.
Implementing rigorous validation and qualification methods to ensure compliance with industry standards.

For those interested in the intersection of materials science and high-tech industrial applications, this publication offers valuable insights into the development of specialised lubricants for critical environments.

Great New Grease, But Can I Use It? Guidelines for Qualification of New Fluid Lubricants

At the request of the European Space Agency (ESA), The European Space Tribology Laboratory (ESTL) has developed the Guidelines for Qualification of New Fluid Lubricants, providing a structured approach to the verification and validation data needed before a new oil or grease can be included in a spacecraft mechanism qualification campaign

ESTL’s Contribution to the ESA JUICE Mission

ESA’s Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (Juice) will make detailed observations of Jupiter and three of its largest icy moons: Ganymede, Callisto and Europa. The mission will investigate these moons as planetary bodies and potential environments capable of supporting life, while also providing new insights into Jupiter’s complex atmosphere, magnetosphere and surrounding system.

Hybrid Lubrication: Combining the Benefits of Solid and Fluid Lubricants

Hybrid lubrication is the application of a viscous fluid lubricant, typically a low-vapour-pressure oil, on top of a thin-film solid lubricant coating, most commonly sputtered molybdenum disulphide (MoS₂).
